Spectral singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and SUSY transformations

Simple examples of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with purely real spectra defined in $L^2(R^+)$ having spectral singularities inside the continuous spectrum are given. It is shown that such Hamiltonians may appear by shifting the ndependent variable of a real potential into the complex plane. Also they may be created as SUSY partners of Hermitian Hamiltonians. In the latter case spectral singularities of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian are ordinary points of the continuous spectrum for its Hermitian SUSY partner. Conditions for transformation functions are formulated when a complex potential with complex eigenenergies and spectral singularities has a SUSY partner with a real spectrum without spectral singularities. Finally we shortly discuss why Hamiltonians with spectral singularities are `bad'.
