Abstract
We reconsider the idea of a solid-state laser-driven linac in view of the latest developments in the creation of super-intense subpicosecond laser pulses and studying their interaction with surfaces. We suggest that by guiding such pulses in a disposable mesoscopic (several hundred nm diameter) hollow metal waveguide it will be possible to avoid deleterious effects of the break- down and provide very high acceleration gradients.
