For the production of ultraslow antiproton beams, decelerated antiprotons were captured in an electro-magnetic trap and cooled by collisions with preloaded electrons. This electron cooling feature was non-destructively monitored by measurement of electrostatic oscillations of the electron plasma. The radial distribution of the plasma was controlled for efficient cooling and extraction by utilizing rotating wall field technique.
