Abstract
The vertical slice transform takes a function on the n-dimensional unit sphere to integrals of that function over spherical slices parallel to the last coordinate axis. This transform arises in thermoacoustic tomography. We obtain new inversion formulas for the vertical slice transform and its singular value decomposition. The results can be applied to the inverse problem for the Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation associated to the corresponding spherical means.
