Description
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be upgraded by the end of the decade to produce 200 collisions per proton-proton bunch crossing, 10 times the current LHC’s design. This upgrade, the High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC), will allow us to reach an integrated luminosity of 3000–4000 fb^-1, probing rarer processes and increasing sensitivity to unobserved processes. The HL-LHC presents a significant challenge for the ATLAS detector in terms of radiation hardness, data rates, and increased particle flux. This talk will provide a broad overview of the Swedish contributions to the ATLAS upgrades for HL-LHC, including the an updated tracking detector, a new timing detector, and upgrades to the readout system.
