The Advanced Electron Photon Facility (ALPHA) [1] is a joint collaboration between the Indiana University Center for Exploration of Energy and Matter and the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center. The ALPHA storage ring will serve as a debuncher in single pass mode of operation. With a set of two gradient damping wigglers, the storage ring can also accumulate to achieve high charge density beams. In this report, we present the design, fabrication, and testing of the 15MHz ferrite-loaded quarter-wave rf coaxial resonator cavity that will be utilized in the ALPHA storage ring. Topics pertaining to beam lifetime, radiation damping, ferrite-loaded transmission lines, and key cavity parameters will be discussed.
