An experimental effort is currently underway at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory to focus a 50pC, 60 MeV electron beam into the hollow core of a commercial photonic bandgap fiber. The wakefield radiation produced in the fiber will be spectrally analyzed using a spectrograph in order to detect the frequency signatures of fiber modes that could be used as accelerating modes in a laser-driven fiber-based accelerator scheme. We discuss the current status of the experiment, including efforts to successfully focus the electron beam through the fiber aperture and to collect the produced wakefield radiation.
