  Recent experimental measurements of the energy lost to wakefields in a dielectric lined waveguide are presented. These measurements demonstrate average decelerating gradients on the order of >1 GV/m, for two different structures. The measurements were made at the Facility for Advanced aCcelerator Experimental Tests (FACET) at SLAC National Laboratory using sub-millimeter diameter fifteen-centimeter long quartz fibers of annular cross section. The unique extremely short, high charge, ultra relativistic beam at FACET (200 fs, 3 nC, 20 GeV) allows the use of dielectric wakefield structures of unprecedented size and length. In addition to experimental results, we support conclusions with simulation and theoretical work. This measurement builds on a large body of work previously performed using dielectric wakefield structures in an effort to provide high gradient accelerating structures for tomorrows linear colliders.
