Abstract: We discuss an integrable model of interacting fermions in one dimension that allows a complete description of the crossover from a BCS- to a Bose-like superfluid. This model bridges the Gaudin-Yang model of attractive spin 1/2 fermions to the Lieb-Liniger model of repulsive bosons. Using a geometric resonance in the one-dimensional scattering length, the inverse coupling constant varies from -infinity to +infinity while the system evolves from a BCS-like state through a Tonks-Girardeau gas to a weakly interacting Bose gas of dimers. We study the ground state energy, the elementary density and spin excitations, and the correlation functions. An experimental realization with cold atoms of such a one-dimensional BCS-BEC crossover is proposed.
