  Charged particle acceleration using ultra-intense and ultra-short laser pulses has gathered a strong interest in the scientific community and it is now one of the most attractive topics in the relativistic laser-plasma interaction research. Indeed, it could represent the future of particle acceleration and open new scenarios in multidisciplinary fields, in particular, medical applications. One of the biggest challenges consists of using, in a future perspective, high intensity laser-target interaction to generate high-energy ions for therapeutic purposes, eventually replacing the old paradigm of acceleration, characterized by huge and complex machines. In this framework, INFN-LNS (Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics, Catania (I)) in collaboration with ELI-Beamline Institute (Dolny Brezany, CZ) will realise, within 2017 the ELIMED (ELI-Beamlines MEDical and multidisciplinary applications) beamline. ELIMED will be the first Users' addressed transport beamline dedicated to the medical and multidisciplinary studies with laser-accelerated ion beams.

  At Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare - Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN-LNS) - the commissioning of the high intensity Proton Source for the European Spallation Source (PS-ESS) is under way. Preliminary results of plasma diagnostics collected on a testbench called "Flexible Plasma Trap" (FPT) will be correlated to the peculiarities of the magnetic system design and of the microwave injection setup with a view of the possible implications on the beam extraction system. The status of the costruction is presented.
