The measurement of phase space has always been an important topic in the field of accelerator physics, playing an indispensable role in understanding the beam dynamics. The phase space distribution of the injected beam is crucial for optimizing the multiturn accumulation injection process in synchrotrons. However, directly and accurately measuring the phase space distribution is a challenging task. In this study, we propose an innovative tomographic algorithm based on the measurement data of the accumulated beam profile obtained from the wall current monitor (WCM) in a synchrotron, to reconstruct the longitudinal phase space of the injected beam. Simulations were conducted for various initial distribution scenarios, and the results showed that this algorithm can achieve a difference of about 4% in the rms momentum spread between the initial and reconstructed phase space distribution of the injected beam. This algorithm has been applied to the China Spallation Neutron Source and successfully measured the momentum spread of the injected beam. Machine studies considering the phase error of the injected beam showed a high consistency between the reconstructed beam profiles and the measurement results from the WCM on Rapid Cycling Synchrotron. The research results demonstrate that this algorithm can be an effective approach for measuring the momentum distribution of the injected beam in a synchrotron. Furthermore, this method also has the potential to be extended to reconstruct the transverse phase space of the injected beam. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
