A 56 MHz superconducting RF cavity will be the first quarter wave resonator (QWR) installed in a high energy storage ring. It is expected to boost the luminosity of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider by more than 60% after installation. In this paper, we discuss the cavity parameters and design features. We report the results from the first vertical test of this cavity at 4 K.
