Let \(\Omega\) be a strictly convex obstacle in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) \((n\geq 2)\), with \(C^\infty\) boundary. Then, it is shown that for any \(\mu>0\) small enough, and any \(\lambda>0\) large enough, the number of resonances of the exterior Dirichlet Laplacian which are in \[ \bigl\{z \in\mathbb{C};\;\lambda \leq\text{Re} z\leq (1+\sqrt \mu) \lambda;\;0\leq-\text{Im} z \leq\mu \lambda \bigr\} \] is \(O(\mu^2 \lambda^n)\) uniformly with respect to \(\mu\) and \(\lambda\). Moreover, under additional geometrical assumptions, an estimate is also given for the number of resonances inside a cubic-inverse type neighborhood of the real axis. The proof relies on a complex dilation of angle \(\pi/3\) up to the boundary, and on the use of a tangential FBI transform.
