The Future of High-Energy Heavy-Ion Facilities

Abstract

The plans within the next decade of the high-energy heavy-ion facilities RHIC at BNL and LHC at CERN are reviewed in detail, focusing on the physics programme for $\sqrt{s_{NN}}\ge$ 200 GeV. The expected data samples are presented, together with a discussion of the physics programme and reach. Selected performance studies are presented. An outlook is given on the plans with these and new facilities beyond 2030.
