contents Enabling multi-target sensing in near-field integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems is a key challenge, particularly when line-of-sight paths are blocked. This paper proposes a beamforming framework that leverages a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) to achieve multi-target indication. Our contribution is the extension of classic beampattern gain and inter-target cross-correlation metrics to the near-field, leveraging both angle and distance information to discriminate between multiple users and targets. We formulate a problem to maximize the worst-case sensing performance by jointly designing the beamforming at the base station and the phase shifts at the RIS, while guaranteeing communication rates. The non-convex problem is solved via an efficient alternating optimization (AO) algorithm that utilizes semidefinite relaxation (SDR). Simulations demonstrate that our RIS-assisted framework enables high-resolution sensing of co-angle targets in blocked scenarios.
