RICH2022 in Edinburgh is dedicated to the memory of Jacques Séguinot (1932-2020)

Scientific Programme

The Workshop will present 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. The conference is organized in plenary sessions of invited and contributed talks, and poster presentations.

Special talks:
