Abstract: If $$ is the scattering amplitude, corresponding to a potential $qin{L}^2(D)$, where $Dsubset{R}^3$ is a bounded domain, and $e^{ikalphacdotx}$ is the incident plane wave, then we call the radiation pattern the function $$, where the unit vector $alpha$, the incident direction, is fixed, and $k>0$, the wavenumber, is fixed. It is shown that any function $$, where $S^2$ is the unit sphere in $R^3$, can be approximated with any desired accuracy by a radiation pattern: $$, where $epsilon>0$ is an arbitrary small fixed number. The potential $q$, corresponding to $$, depends on $f$ and $epsilon$. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the above potential and the density of the number of small acoustically soft particles $D_{m}subsetD$, $1leqmleqM$, distributed in an a priori given bounded domain $Dsubset{R}^3$. The geometrical shape of a small particle $D_m$ is arbitrary, the boundary $S_m$ of $D_m$ is Lipschitz uniformly with respect to $m$. The wave number $k$ and the direction $alpha$ of the incident upon $D$ plane wave are fixed. It is shown that a suitable distribution of the above particles in $D$ can produce the scattering amplitude $A(alph{a}^{\prime },alpha)$, $alph{a}^{\prime },alphain{S}^2$, at a fixed $k>0$, arbitrarily close in the norm of $L^2(S^{2}imes{S}^2)$ to an arbitrary given scattering amplitude $f(alph{a}^{\prime },alpha)$, corresponding to a real-valued potential $qin{L}^2(D)$, i.e., corresponding to an arbitrary given refraction coefficient in $D$.
