ATLAS Upgrade for the Super LHC: Meeting the challenges of a ten-fold increase in collisions

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) about to start collisions, plans are already advancing for an upgrade to about ten times the LHC luminosity some 8 years from now, in the super-LHC (sLHC) project. Coping with the high instantaneous and integrated luminosity will require many changes to the ATLAS detector. The designs are developing rapidly for an all-new inner-tracker, big changes in the calorimeter and muon systems, as well as improved triggers. This manuscript summarises the environment expected at the sLHC and the status of the improvements to the ATLAS detector.
