The recent demonstration of electron cooling of antiprotons in the Recycler ring required a stable 4.3 MeV electron beam with a DC current of hundreds of mA and an angular spread in the cooling section of a fraction of a mrad. This paper describes the achieved parameters of the Fermilab cooler's electron beam and details of operation.
