Description
During the ongoing LHC long shutdown 2, in 2019/2020,
the LHCb collaboration is performing a major upgrade of the experiment.
The upgraded detector is designed to operate at a five times higher instantaneous
luminosity than in Run II and it can be read out at the full bunch-crossing
frequency of the LHC, abolishing the need for a hardware trigger. This
talk will present an overview of the upgraded detector systems and
discuss the physics reach of the upgraded experiment for selected
physics topics. In addition, plans for future upgrades will be briefly outlined.
