We report the first instance of shaping and acceleration of a beam of multiply-charged ions of a laser plasma with the preinjector of the linear proton synchrotron accelerator. A procedure is considered for the formation of a beam of multiply charged ions, and data are given on the flux of carbon ions at the output of the preinjector. The feasibility of developing a laser source of nuclei is indicated.
