Description
Following the successful operation of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
at collision center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV in the period
2010-2012, the LHC is now colliding protons at the unprecedented
center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Plans are underway to significantly
increase the luminosity of the LHC over the next twenty
years through various upgrades of the accelerator complex. In order
to take advantage of the planned significant increase in instantaneous
luminosity beyond the original nominal design, important upgrades to
the ATLAS and CMS experiments are being prepared. In this talk, scientific
motivations for the upgade of the ATLAS experiment will be presented.
The overall ATLAS upgrade program, including both the so-called
Phase-I (2019) and Phase-II (2024) upgrades, will also be described, with
emphasis on projects with Canadian efforts.
