  This paper describes simulation analyses on beam and laser (X-ray)-driven
accelerations in effective nanotube models obtained from Vsim and EPOCH codes.
Experimental setups to detect wakefields are also outlined with accelerator
facilities at Fermilab and NIU. In the FAST facility, the electron beamline was
successfully commissioned at 50 MeV and it is being upgraded toward higher
energies for electron accelerator R&D. The 50 MeV injector beamline of the
facility is used for X-ray crystal-channeling radiation with a diamond target.
It has been proposed to utilize the same diamond crystal for a channeling
acceleration POC test. Another POC experiment is also designed for the NIU
accelerator lab with time-resolved electron diffraction. Recently, a stable
generation of single-cycle laser pulses with tens of Petawatt power based on
thin film compression (TFC) technique has been investigated for target normal
sheath acceleration (TNSA) and radiation pressure acceleration (RPA). The
experimental plan with a nanometer foil is discussed with an available test
facility such as Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP).
