  The LEIR electron cooler was successfully commissioned in 2006 and is used to routinely cool and accumulate high brightness beams of Pb54+ ions for the LHC. Some initial measurements on the performance of the device were reported in 2007 but did not fully study the influence of the electron beam current and density distribution on beam cooling. We present a compilation of measurements performed over the last years during dedicated machine study sessions which aim to shed some light as to the effectiveness of electron cooling with hollow beams.
