Special features of Wigner times delay in slow elastic electron scattering by shallow potential well

We investigate specific features in the Wigner time behavior for slow electron elastic scattering by shallow potential wells. We considered two types of potentials wells, the small changes in the parameters of which lead to arising bound states in the well. It appeared that the time delay for attractive potential wells with no bound levels always has a positive value for small electron energies and changes sign after level arising in the well. At the moment of arising the times delay has a jump. The value of this jump is as more as less is the difference in the potential well depth from its critical value. The values of times delay strongly depend on geometrical sizes of potential wells.
