Sumario:The upgrade of the LHCb experiment, with its installation scheduled for the second long shutdown (LS2) of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), will transform the data acquisition and processing architecture to a fully software-based event selection in a CPU farm. This also requires a redesign of major subdetector components addressing the challenges posed by 40MHz readout, increased occupancy and radiation damage. The upgraded experiment is expected to reach statistical sensitivities comparable to the theoretical uncertainties and will broaden further its physics programme.
