Abstract: In this talk I shall present the "reflection Hopf algebra" formalism. This formalism may be used in boundary scattering theory and is a natural extension of the usual Hopf algebra for the analysis of the reflection processes. I shall give several examples where this formalism proved to be very useful. They include the (generalized) twisted Yangians in AdS/CFT correspondence and the coideal quantum affine algebra of the Deformed Hubbard Chain. The talk will be based on arXiv: 1010.3761, 1101.6062 and 1110.4596.
