We have developed a technique for measuring the longitudinal phase space distribution of the Stanford Superconducting Accelerator{close_quote}s (SCA) electron beam which involves applying tomographic techniques to energy spectra taken as a function of the relative phase between the beam and the accelerating field, and optionally, as a function of the strength of a variable dispersion section in the system. The temporal profile of the beam obtained by projecting the inferred distribution onto the time axis is compared with that obtained from interferometric transition radiation measurements. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
