Electron cooling at high energy is presently considered for several ion colliders, in order to achieve high luminosities by enabling a significant reduction of emittance of hadron beams. Electron beam at cooling channel in a few to tens MeV can be accelerated by a RF/SRF linac, and thus using bunched electrons to cool bunched ions. To study such cooling process, the DC electron gun of EC35 cooler was modified by pulsing the grid voltage, by which a 0.5-3.5 us of electron bunch length with a repetition frequency of less than 250 kHz was obtained. The first experiment demonstrated cooling coasting and bunched ion beam by a bunched electron beam was carried out at the storage ring CSRm at IMP. A preliminary data analysis has indicted the bunch length shrinkage and the momentum spread reduction of bunched 12C+6 ion beam. A longitudinal grouping effect of coasting ion beam by the electron bunch has also observed. In this paper, we will present the experiment result and its preliminary comparison to the simulation modeling.
