The electron-ion collider project (eRHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory requires a 50 mA 12 MeV electron injector linac for eRHIC main linac and an SRF electron gun for a Coherent electron Cooling (CeC) linac. The necessity to deal with long electron bunches required for both the eRHIC injector and the coherent electron cooler sets the frequency requirement of 84.5 MHz. Quarter wave resonator is a perfect choice for this frequency because of its dimensions, RF parameters and good experience with manufacturing and using them at ANL. Here we present the design and optimization of an 84.5 MHz 2.5 MV superconducting quarter-wave cavity suitable for both machines. One such QWR will be used as a bunching cavity in the injector linac, the other one as the photoemission electron source for the CeC linac. In addition to the optimization of the QWR electromagnetic design we will discuss the tuner design, approaches to cavity fabrication and processing.
