1states are calculated by using the internally contracted multireference configuration interaction (icMRCI) method. In order to obtain the accurate potential energy curve, the errors caused by single and double electron excitation, core-valence correlation effects, relativistic effects and basis set truncation are corrected. The spectral and transition data of BH molecule are in good agreement with the available theoretical and experimental data. The calculation results show that the A

1states on A
1Π

λ

λ
21= 481.40 nm) to laser cooling BH molecules, and evaluation of the cooling effect.
