Abstract Providing Au-Au collisions in the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at energies equal or lower than 10 GeV/nucleon is of particular interest to study the location of a critical point in the QCD phase diagram. To mitigate luminosity limitations arising from intra-beam scattering at such low energies, an electron cooling system is being developed. To achieve cooling, the relative velocities of the electrons and protons need to be small with maximized transverse overlap. Recombination rates of ions with electrons in the electron cooler can provide signals that can be used to tune the energies and transverse overlap to the required conditions. In this paper we take a close look at various detection methods for recombination processes that may be used to approach cooling.
