Abstract: We study the problem of recovery both the attenuation $a$ and the source $f$ in the attenuated X-ray transform in the plane. We study the linearization as well. It turns out that there are natural Hamiltonian flow that determines which singularities we can recover. If the perturbations $deltaa$, $deltaf$ are supported in a compact set that is non-trapping for that flow, then the problem is well posed. Otherwise, it may not be, and least in the case of radial $a$, $f$, it is not. We present uniqueness and non-uniqueness results for both the linearized and the non-linear problem; as well as a H"older stability estimate.

Review text

The attenuated X-ray transform given by NEWLINE\[NEWLINEX_af(x,\theta)=\int e^{-Ba(x+t\theta,\theta)}f(x+t\theta)\mathrm dt,\quad x\in\mathbb R^2,\quad \theta\in S^1,\tag{1.1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE in the plane with a source \(f\) and the attenuation \(a\) is studied for recovery problem. Starting from the attenuated X-ray transform, given by (1.1), the linearization of the identification problem is computed, which can also be computed by transport equation. The singularities of g can be recovered from the non-trapping for the Hamiltonian flow, by considering microlocal point. The actual injectivity and stability of I are then proved. The uniqueness and non-uniqueness for the sufficient and explicit sufficient conditions are proved with certain analyticity conditions. Analyzing microlocal consequences and the study of radial \(a\) and \(f\), the linearization mapping for an infinite dimensional, uniqueness for radial cases are proved.
