科学界对激光驱动光束的多学科应用越来越感兴趣，导致了几个项目的发展，旨在证明这些光束用于治疗目的的可能性。然而，激光加速粒子不同于通常用于多学科和医学应用的传统光束，这是由于宽的能量分布、角发散和极强的脉冲。光学加速束的特殊性导致了发展新的战略和先进技术的运输，诊断和剂量的加速粒子。在此框架内，ELIMED（ELI-Beamlines医学和多学科应用）光束线的实现，由INFN-LNS（卡塔尼亚，意大利）开发，并将于2017年安装在布拉格ELI-Beamlines（极端光基础设施光束线）设施的ELIMAIA光束线的一部分，旨在研究将激光驱动离子束用于多学科应用的可行性。在这方面的贡献，光束线的概述沿着的主要传输元件的详细描述，以及构成光束线的最后一部分的检测器将被呈现。
A growing interest of the scientific community towards multidisciplinary applications of laser-driven beams has led to the development of several projects aiming to demonstrate the possible use of these beams for therapeutic purposes. Nevertheless, laser-accelerated particles differ from the conventional beams typically used for multiscipilinary and medical applications, due to the wide energy spread, the angular divergence and the extremely intense pulses. The peculiarities of optically accelerated beams led to develop new strategies and advanced techniques for transport, diagnostics and dosimetry of the accelerated particles. In this framework, the realization of the ELIMED (ELI-Beamlines MEDical and multidisciplinary applications) beamline, developed by INFN-LNS (Catania, Italy) and that will be installed in 2017 as a part of the ELIMAIA beamline at the ELI-Beamlines (Extreme Light Infrastructure Beamlines) facility in Prague, has the aim to investigate the feasibility of using laser-driven ion beams for multidisciplinary applications. In this contribution, an overview of the beamline along with a detailed description of the main transport elements as well as the detectors composing the final section of the beamline will be presented.
