Abstract
This chapter reviews several quantities that have been proposed in scattering theory to characterize the temporal aspects of one dimensional collisions: the dwell time, the delay time, the decay time, and times characterizing transient effects or the attainment of stationary conditions. Some aspects of tunnelling times are also discussed.
