Abstract: We consider Laguerre polynomials $L_n^{(alph{a}_n)}(nz)$ with varying negative parameters $alph{a}_n$, such that the limit $A=-li{m}_{n}alph{a}_n/n$ exists and belongs to $(0,1)$. For $A>1$, it is known that the zeros accumulate along an open contour in the complex plane. For every $Ain(0,1)$, we describe a one-parameter family of possible limit sets of the zeros. Under the condition that the limit $r=-li{m}_{n}frac1nlogdist(alph{a}_n,mathbbZ)$ exists, we show that the zeros accumulate on $$ with $$ and $$ only depending on $A$. For $rin[0,infty)$, $Gamm{a}_r$ is a closed loop encircling the origin, which for $r=+infty$, reduces to the origin. This shows a great sensitivity of the zeros to $alph{a}_n$'s proximity to the integers. We use a Riemann-Hilbert formulation for the Laguerre polynomials, together with the steepest descent method of Deift and Zhou to obtain asymptotics for the polynomials, from which the zero behavior follows.
