Funding: Funded by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Modern rare isotope facilities provide beams of shortlived radionuclides primarily for studies in the field of nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and low energy particle physics. At these facilities, many activities such as re-acceleration, improvement of resolving power, and precision experimental measurements require charge breeding of ions. However, the charge breeding process can increase the energy spread of an ion bunch, adversely affecting the experiment. A Cooler Penning Trap (CPET) is being developed to address such an energy spread by means of sympathetic electron cooling of the Highly Charged Ion bunches to . 1 eV/q. Recent work has focused on developing a strategy to effectively detect the trapped electron plasma without obstructing the passage of ions through the beamline. The first offline tests demonstrate the ability to trap and detect more than 108 electrons. This was achieved by using a novel wire mesh detector as a diagnostic tool for the electrons. * E.M.
