An inverse problem of determining a zeroth-order coefficient in a one-dimensional fractional diffusion equation of half-order in time is investigated. Under some assumptions on the regularity of the solutions and coefficients, we prove a conditional stability estimate by some additional data. The key is a Carleman estimate, but since we have no Carleman estimates for the fractional diffusion equation, we further take the t-derivative of half-order to obtain the equation where the principal term is . The nonhomogeneous term is coupled with derivatives of the difference between two coefficients, and so we need an additional Carleman estimate, which is different from usual coefficient inverse problems for partial differential equations.
