We consider a T-shaped, one-dimensional quantum waveguide containing an attractive or repulsive impurity in the lateral stub, and study how the resonance poles move in the complex k-plane when the strength or the position of the defect changes. Similarities and differences with respect to standard potential scattering problems are highlighted.
