  A test accelerator for the coherent THz source (t-ACTS) has been constructed at Tohoku University, in which the generation of intense coherent THz radiation from sub-picosecond electron bunches will be demonstrated. The final electron bunch length of accelerated beam is mostly dictated by the longitudinal phase space distribution at the exit of electron-gun. Therefore, measurement of Initial electron distribution in the longitudinal phase space produced by an electron gun is crucial for stable production of very short electron bunches, However, measurement of the longitudinal phase space of a relatively lower energy electron beam is especially difficult because space charge effects in drift spaces for measurement system might be strong. A method for measurement of electron energy (or momentum) applying velocity dependence of the opening angle of Cherenkov radiation in the radiator has been proposed for relatively lower energy electrons. Combined use of a streak camera and the “turtle-back” mirror that confines the Cherenkov light onto a linear focal line may allow us to observe the longitudinal phase space distribution directly. Current status of the system development will be reported in this conference.
