RICH2010 will focus on the "state of the art"
and the
future developments in Cherenkov light imaging techniques
for
applications in
High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics and Astroparticle Physics.
First results from Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors at the CERN
LHC experiments are eagerly anticipated. Exotic applications of
Cherenkov radiation and alternative particle identification methods will
also be discussed.
The conference is organised in plenary sessions of
invited and contributed talks, and poster presentations.
The list of topics includes:
Cherenkov light imaging in particle and nuclear physics experiments
Cherenkov detectors in astroparticle physics
Novel Cherenkov imaging techniques
Photon detection for Cherenkov counters
Technological aspects of Cherenkov detectors
Pattern recognition and data analysis
Research & Development for future experiments
RICH 2010 has been organised and sponsored by the Centre de Physique des
Particules de Marseille and the IN2P3 division of the CNRS,
with support from local political and international scientific bodies.
