Abstract
AbstractWe discuss the status and prospects of the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment, one of the four large detectors based at the LHC. The physics programme of the experiment is discussed by highlighting the status of rare b-quark decays, charged current semileptonic decays and the searches for CP violation. These areas make a strong cases for a second upgrade of LHCb, which will fully harness the HL-LHC’s potential as a flavour physics machine while maintaining a rich and diverse research programme. The upgrade also provides an opportunity for the development of novel detector technologies during an exciting period of anticipation in preparation for the future circular collider currently foreseen.
