The schematic view of the electron cooler and the experimental setup for electron–ion recombination experiment at the CSRm, Lanzhou. The electron beam produced at the cathode is guided by magnetic field, then merges with ion beam at the straight section of 4.0 m. The electron-beam is then separated from the ion-beam by the magnetic guiding field and collected by the anode. In a dipole magnet downstream to the electron cooler the recombined ions are separated from the primary ion beam, and then counted by a scintillator detector.
