Abstract: Suppose $q_i(x)$, $i=1,2$ are smooth functions on $R^3$ and $U_i(x,t)$ the solutions of the initial value problem {gather*} pa_t^2 U_i- Delta U_i - q_i(x) U_i = delta(x,t), qquad (x,t) in R^3 imes R U_i(x,t) =0, qquad ext{for} ~ t<0. {gather*} Pick $R,T$ so that $0<R<T$ and let $C$ be the vertical cylinder $(x,t),:|x|=R,RleqtleqT$. We show that if $(U_1,U_{1r})=(U_2,U_{2r})$ on $C$ then $q_1=q_2$ on the annular region $Rleq|x|leq(R+T)/2$ provided there is a $gamma>0$, independent of $r$, so that [int_{|x|=r} | Delta_S (q_1 - q_2)|^2 , dS_x leq gamma int_{|x|=r} |q_1 - q_2|^2 , dS_x, qquad forall r in [R, (R+T)/2].] Here $Delt{a}_S$ is the spherical Laplacian on $|x|=r$.
