The 10th European Conference on Luminescent Detectors and Transformers of Ionizing Radiation (LUMDETR) was held in Prague during 9-14 September 2018. The conference was organized by the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (FZU) and the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague (FNSPE). Dr. Martin Nikl (FZU) was joint Chair of the conference together with Dr. Tomáš Trojek (FNSPE). The ASCIMAT consortium partners were closely involved in the conference: Prof. Christophe Dujardin (UCBL-ILM) and Prof. Anna Vedda (UNIMIB) were on the programme committee whilst Prof. Dujardin and Dr. Etiennette Auffray (CERN) were invited keynote speakers.
The conference provided an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of the latest developments in basic and applied research in the field of radioluminescence, the processes of energy transfer and storage in solid state systems, the physics and chemistry of luminescent phosphor and scintillation materials, and related applications. The topics covered included:
The conference attracted 197 participants from 32 countries.
The conference’s abstract book is available here.

The topics covered included:
- Radioluminescence and scintillation mechanisms, energy transfer and storage, optically and thermally stimulated luminescence in solids
- Physics and chemistry of luminescent materials for detectors and transformers of ionizing radiation, technology and preparation methods
- Defects and their role in material performance
- Novel phenomena, energy transfer and storage in restricted geometries, Nanophosphors, and nanocomposites
- New detector concepts and novel instrumentation
- Application of scintillators and transformers of ionizing radiation for medical diagnostics, biological research and environmental studies
- Application of luminescence materials in dosimetry of ionizing radiation including medical dosimetry, ion and cosmic ray dosimetry, and homeland security dosimetry
- Emergency dosimetry
The conference attracted 197 participants from 32 countries.
