contents We consider the Schrödinger equation with a multipoint potential of the Bethe-Peierls-Thomas-Fermi type. We show that such a potential in dimension d=2 or d=3 is uniquely determined by its scattering amplitude at a fixed positive energy. Moreover, we show that there is no non-zero potential of this type with zero scattering amplitude at a fixed positive energy and a fixed incident direction. Nevertheless, we also show that a multipoint potential of this type is not uniquely determined by its scattering amplitude at a positive energy E and a fixed incident direction. Our proofs also contribute to the theory of inverse source problem for the Helmholtz equation with multipoint source.
