We consider scattering by a smooth obstacle in $R^d$, $d\geq 3 $ odd. We show that for the Neumann Laplacian if an obstacle has the same resonances as the ball of radius $\rho$ does, then the obstacle is a ball of radius $\rho$. We give related results for obstacles which are disjoint unions of several balls of the same radius.
Keywords: resonances, inverse problems..
