Several schemes about the energy selection and transport of laser accelerated beams have been considered and tested, however the energy spread of the selected particles remains rather high and the reproducibility has not been yet achieved. In the framework of the ELIMED network, we present a study of a possible layout to capture and transport in an efficient and reproducible way, the beams generated by the laser-target interaction. It consists of a combination of quadrupoles based on permanent magnets placed just downstream the target, coupled with a system composed by a series of 4 dipole magnets of inverted polarity, which provides the final energy selection of the previously focused beam. Such a system will be tested in 2014 at TARANIS facility to select proton beams in the energy range of 4-8 MeV; the main scheme can be scaled for the high energy beam that are expected at ELI-beamlines facility.
