We discuss how the analysis of the zeros of the functions introduced by Jost in 1946, acting individually or collectively, provides a comprehensive framework for describing resonances in single and multichannel collisions. In particular, we propose a generalization of the Wigner threshold law that copes with some deviations recently observed in opening reaction channels. We also pay special attention to the appearance of zeros of the s-wave Jost function in the fourth quadrant of the complex momentum plane, as analysed by Nussenzveig in 1959 but erroneously ruled out in following studies. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
