  Preparatory work is presented in the context of the upcoming LIGHT project, which is dedicated to build up a test stand for injecting laser accelerated protons into conventional accelerator structures, located at GSI Helmholtzcenter for Heavy Ion Research (Darmstadt, Germany). In an experimental campaign in 2010, a beam of 8.4×109 protons with 170 ps pulse duration and (6.7±0.1) MeV particle energy could be focused with the use of a pulsed high-field solenoid. Collimation and transport of a 300 ps proton bunch containing 3×109 protons with (13.5±0.5) MeV particle energy over a distance of 407 mm was also demonstrated. Parallel simulation studies of the beam transport through the solenoid are in good agreement with the experiment.
