Fermilab has constructed and commissioned a full-scale prototype of a multi-MV electron cooling system to be installed in the 8.9 GeV/c Fermilab Recycler ring. This prototype was used to test all of the electron beam properties needed for cooling. However, because the prototype is not located within proximity of the Recycler ring, the actual electron cooling of antiprotons can not be demonstrated until it is relocated. The Fermilab electron cooling R&D project is scheduled to be completed in May, 2004 at which time it will be disassembled and relocated to a newly constructed facility where it will be installed in the Recycler. This paper describes the experimental results obtained with the prototype cooler system, gives an overview of the new electron cooling facility, and discusses the overall status of the project.
