	A transverse laser-shaping optical setup using microlens arrays (MLAs), previously developed and employed at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA), allows the formation of both highly uniform and modulated (patterned) beams. In the latter case, transverse modulation is imposed in the sub-millimeter scale. In the present study, we report the simulations of backward coherent transition radiation (CTR) emitted from a transversely modulated beam. We compare the case of a uniform round beam against different transverse modulation wavelengths by generating CTR on a steel target and measuring the autocorrelation function of the resulting radiation with an interferometer. We particularly focus on the differences between round and patterned beam distributions and discuss possible future applications of this setup in THz radiation generation.

	A ~1 MeV gamma-ray source is planned to be built at Fermilab following the completion of the ~300 MeV superconducting linac. The high-energy photons are back-scattered from the interactions between electrons and high-intensity IR laser pulses. In this contribution, we discuss some of the experiment design challenges and evaluate the performances of the gamma-ray source. We expect the peak brilliance to be of the order of 10²² photons/s-(mm-mrad)²-0.1\% BW and the spectral density of the radiation in excess of 3x10⁵ photons/s/eV.

A ~1 MeV gamma-ray source is planned to be built at Fermilab following the completion of the ~300 MeV superconducting linac. The high-energy photons are back-scattered from the interactions between electrons and high-intensity IR laser pulses. In this contribution, we discuss some of the experiment design challenges and evaluate the performances of the gamma-ray source. We expect the peak brilliance to be of the order of 10²² photons/s-(mm-mrad)²-0.1\% BW and the spectral density of the radiation in excess of 3x10⁵ photons/s/eV.
