| Sumario: | The proposed luminosity upgrade to the LHC imposes significant challenges on the LHC detectors: their design must function within a much harder radiation environment and yet, preserve, if not improve, their ability to maximize the upgrade's physics opportunities. In addition, they must be designed, constructed, and installed on a tight timescale in order to be ready for operation in 2016. For ATLAS, the upgrade entails a major redesign of the tracking systems, and possibly the forward calorimeters and muon detectors as well. Efforts have already begun to address these issues. |
