Diamond has been proposed as a dielectric material for dielectric loaded accelerating (DLA) structures. It has a very low microwave loss tangent, the highest available thermoconductive coefficient and high RF breakdown field. In this paper we report results from a wakefield breakdown test of diamond-loaded rectangular accelerating structure. The high charge beam from the AWA linac (~70 nC, σz = 2.5mm) will be passed through a rectangular diamond - loaded resonator and induce an intense wakefield. A groove is cut on the diamond to enhance the field. Electric fields up to 0.5 GV/m will be present on the diamond surface to attempt to initiate breakdown. A surface analysis of the diamond is be performed before and after the beam test.
