  Cooling of a high energy ion beam is essential for future electron-ion colliders to reach high luminosity. It is critical to demonstrate experimentally cooling by a bunched electron beam and to benchmark the experimental data with simulations. Such experimental and simulation studies were carried out by a collaboration of Jefferson Lab and Institute of Modern Physics (IMP), utilizing a DC cooler at IMP. The thermionic gun of the DC cooler was modified by pulsing its grid voltage to produce cooling electron pulses in a pulse length range of 0.07 - 3.5 µs, with a 250 kHZ repetition frequency. The performed experiments clearly demonstrated cooling of a RF focused ion bunches by this pulsed electron beam. The momentum spread of cooled ion bunch has been reduced from ~2x10-3 to ~6x10-4 in less than 0.5 second. The simulation results agree with the measurements qualitatively. In this paper, we present a brief overview of the experiments and also show the main experimental and simulation results.
