The aim of the article is to uncover certain relations between the Lax-Phillips scattering theory, developed originally for acoustic or electromagnetic systems, and the rigged Hilbert space formalism. To this end the essentials of the Lax-Phillips scattering theory are presented in order to put the theory in a more general framework. The construction fits into the theory of \textit{B. Sz.-Nagy} and \textit{C. Foias} [Harmonic analysis of operators on Hilbert spaces. Amsterdam: North-Holland (1970; Zbl 0201.45003)] on contraction operators in Hilbert spaces. The last section is devoted to the development of a rigged Hilbert space formalism for resonances in the framework of the Lax-Phillips scattering theory. Considering operators of the form \(H = H_{0} +V\) the assumptions on the spectrum of \(H\) given in [\textit{A. Bohm} and \textit{M. Gadella}, Dirac kets, Gamov vectors and Gel'fand triplets. Berlin: Springer (1989; Zbl 0691.46051)] are imposed here as well. Additional assumptions are made in order to be able to use the theory of Hardy spaces.
