	Laser-target interaction represents a very promising field in several potential applications, from nuclear physics to medicine. On the other hand optically accelerated particle beams are characterized by some extreme features, often not suitable for several applications, as an high peak current, a poor shot-to-shot reproducibility and a wide energy and angular distribution. Therefore many efforts are currently ongoing for the development of specific beam transport devices in order to obtain controlled and reproducible output beams. In this framework, this work want to report about a transport beamline solution dedicated to laser-driven beams and made of two main sections: a quadrupole-focusing device and an energy selector system. A test beam-line consisting of prototypes has been realised at INFN-LNS (National Institute of Physics-South National Laboratories, Ct, I) and partially tested with conventional accelerated proton beams. Moreover, some of these prototypes have been already tested with laser-driven beams.\ Several simulations have been also performed using the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit, in order to best exploit the beamline potentiality. Preliminary simulations of a transported beamline to select 5 MeV and 24 MeV proton beams are here reported.

	The superconducting cyclotron of the LNS-INFN has been working for about 20 years delivering ion beams from proton to gold in the wide energy range from 15 AMeV to 80 AMeV. The beam extraction is performed by means of two electrostatic deflectors and a set of magnetic channels. Recently, the experiment NUMEN has been proposed to study the nuclear matrix element for the double beta decay . The requirements on target are light ion beams (A<30), with an energy range of 15-60 AMeV and a beam power of 1-5 kW. To achieve this goal we have studied the feasibility of extraction by stripping through the existing extraction channel with an increased transversal section. In addition, a new extraction channel has been designed to increase as much as possible the number of the extracted ions and energies. To allow the realization of these new channels, a new superconducting magnet is needed. The major changes and the expected performances for the upgraded cyclotron, as well as the state-of-art of the design, are here presented.

The superconducting cyclotron of the LNS-INFN has been working for about 20 years delivering ion beams from proton to gold in the wide energy range from 15 AMeV to 80 AMeV. The beam extraction is performed by means of two electrostatic deflectors and a set of magnetic channels. Recently, the experiment NUMEN has been proposed to study the nuclear matrix element for the double beta decay . The requirements on target are light ion beams (A<30), with an energy range of 15-60 AMeV and a beam power of 1-5 kW. To achieve this goal we have studied the feasibility of extraction by stripping through the existing extraction channel with an increased transversal section. In addition, a new extraction channel has been designed to increase as much as possible the number of the extracted ions and energies. To allow the realization of these new channels, a new superconducting magnet is needed. The major changes and the expected performances for the upgraded cyclotron, as well as the state-of-art of the design, are here presented.
