The seven-direction conjecture for convex subsets of three-dimensional Delone sets

Let ΛR3\varLambda\subset\mathbb R^3 be a Delone set. A set of Λ\varLambda-directions is in general position when any three directions from it span the whole 33-space. Seven-direction conjecture. The convex subsets of Λ\varLambda can be distinguished by the X-rays in any set of seven Λ\varLambda-directions in general position. This conjecture is motivated by a continuous version formulated by Gardner in 1995; the three-dimensional discrete-tomography problem remains open in the stated generality.
