Laser-target acceleration represents a very promising alternative to conventional accelerators for several potential applications, from the nuclear physics to the medical ones.

In this framework, a three years contract has been signed between INFN-LNS (IT) and Eli-Beamlines-IoP (CZ) to provide the design and the realization of a complete transport beam-line, named ELIMED, dedicated to the transport, diagnostics and dosimetry of laser-driven ion beams. The transport devices will be composed by a set of super-strong permanent magnet quadrupoles able to collect and focus laser driven ions up to 70MeV/u, and a magnetic chicane made of conventional electromagnetic dipole to select particles within a narrow energy range. Here, the design and development of these magnetic systems is described.

	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.

	Laser-based accelerators are gaining interest in recent years as an alternative to conventional machines. Nowadays, energy and angular spread of the laser-driven beams are the main issues in application and different solutions for dedicated beam-transport lines have been proposed. In this context a system of permanent magnet quadrupoles has been realized, by INFN researchers in collaboration with SIGMAPHI company, to be used as a collection system for laser-driven protons up to 20 MeV. The definition of well specified characteristics, in terms of performances and field quality, of the magnetic lenses is crucial for the system realization and an accurate study of the beam dynamics. Hence, a method for studying the errors on the PMQ harmonic contents has been developed. It consists of different series of simulations in which magnetic and mechanical errors are introduced in the array and the harmonic content is analyzed to fix the tolerances necessary to have a good beam quality downstream the system. The method developed for the analysis of the PMQs errors and its validation is here described. The technique is general and can be easily extended to any magnetic lens.
