Welcome to RICH2010! RICH2010 will be held from May 3-7, 2010 at the Oustau Calendal Conference Centre in Cassis, France, following on from the six previous workshops held in Bari, Italy (1993); Uppsala, Sweden (1995); Ein Gedi, Israel (1998); Pylos, Greece (2002); Playa del Carmen, Mexico (2004) and Trieste, Italy (2007).

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
