Backward transition radiation (TR) is a TR arising in the direction of mirror reflection relative to the charged particles trajectory. Therefore for oblique incidence it can be emitted under big angles which is useful from point of view of measuring of the radiation. In spite of the fact that backward TR in X-ray frequency domain is much weaker than forward TR [*], it has recently been proposed by A.P. Potylitsyn and others [**] as an instrument for submicron electron beam diagnostics. In this work we propose to use the multilayered target in order to enhance the resulting radiation, i.e. to use resonant backward X-ray TR. So far X-ray TR has not been explored theoretically for backward geometry. It is shown that the expressions obtained coincide in special case of forward resonant X-ray TR with the results by L. Durand (***) and X. Artru (****). We explore the spectral and angular characteristics of resonant backward X-ray TR form point of view of submicron beam diagnostics for the ultrarelativistic charged particles bunches. The role of absorption in the target material and also the coherent and incoherent parts of the radiation is analyzed

We present the results from the laserwire system at the Accelerator Test Facility 2 (ATF2) during recent operation after relocation to the virtual image point of the ATF2 final focus. The characterisation of the 150 mJ, 77 ps long laser pulses at a scaled virtual interaction point is used to deconvolve the transverse laserwire profile demonstrating a 1.16 ± 0.06 um vertical electron beam profile. Horizontal laserwire scans were used in combination with the vertical scans to measure the electron beam size using a full overlap integral model due to the problems presented by a large aspect ratio electron beam.
