Abstract :
The first section of the beam transport system for the Midwest Proton Radiation Institute (MPRI) has been constructed. It is designed to compensate both spatial and angular dispersion of the 205 MeV proton beam coming out of the Indiana University Cyclotron. We present the data obtained during the commissioning of the beam line including measurements of the beam dispersion and the beam emittance from the cyclotron
