The ATLAS and CMS Plans for the LHC Luminosity Upgrade

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-09-04 v1

Abstract

In January 2007 the CERN director general announced the plan for the staged upgrade of the LHC luminosity. The plan foresees a phase 1 upgrade reaching a peak luminosity of 3×10343 \times 10^{34} cm2^{-2}s1^{-1} followed by phase reaching up to 1035 10^{35} cm2^{-2}s1^{-1}. We discuss the physics potential and the experimental challenges of an upgraded LHC running. The detector R&D needed to operate ATLAS and CMS in a very high radiation environment and the expected detector performance are also discussed.
