Abstract
We present a semi-infinite q-boson system endowed with a four-parameter boundary interaction. The n-particle Hamiltonian is diagonalized by generalized Hall-Littlewood polynomials with hyperoctahedral symmetry that arise as a degeneration of the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials and were recently studied in detail by Venkateswaran.

Key words: Hall-Littlewood functions; q-bosons; boundary fields; hyperoctahedral symmetry.
