Scientific Program

The RICH 2025 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 meeting will be in-person and in plenary format, featuring invited and contributed talks, supported by poster presentations.

Invited review talks:

  • Claudio Bruschini (EPFL, Switzerland) - Status and Perspectives of CMOS SPAD-based single photon detectors
  • Chandradoy Chatterjee (INFN, Trieste, Italy) - R&D Activities in Cherenkov Imaging Technologies for Particle Identification Systems in Future Experiments
  • Massimiliano Fiorini (University of Ferrara, Italy) - The DRD4 Collaboration for research and development on photon detectors and particle identification techniques
  • Erika Garutti (DESY and Hamburg University, Germany) - SiPM radiation hardness and perspectives for new developments
