Upgrade of ATLAS for high luminosity at the SLHC

While the LHC is close to its startup, plans are already advancing for an upgrade to about ten times the LHC luminosity in the mid of the next decade. This upgrade project is called the Super-LHC or sLHC. Coping with the high instantaneous and integrated luminosity will require many changes to the ATLAS detector. R&D work is developing rapidly for an all-new inner tracker, for modifications in the calorimeters and the muon system as well as for an improved trigger. This article summarizes the environment expected at the sLHC and the status of the upgrade concepts to the ATLAS detector.
