We study the X-ray transform $I$ of symmetric tensor fields on a smooth convex bounded domain $Ω\subset{\mathbb R}^n$. The main result is the stability estimate $\|^{s}f\|_{L^2}≤ C\|If\|_{H^{1/2}}$, where $^{s}f$ is the solenoidal part of the tensor field $f$. The proof is based on a comparison of the Dirichlet integrals for the exterior and interior Dirichlet problems and on a generalization of the Korn inequality to symmetric tensor fields of arbitrary rank.

Keywords: Tensor tomography, X-ray transform, the Dirichlet principle, the Korn inequality.
