Abstract
The physics programme of LHCb, the dedicated B-physics experiment at the LHC, could be significantly enhanced by the collection of increased statistics. A future upgrade to the detector is proposed that will allow the experiment to run at significantly higher instantaneous luminosities (around 1033cm-2s-1). Significant changes to the detector which are under consideration include the development of a silicon vertex locator capable of withstanding a fluence in excess of 10151MeV neutron equivalent particles per cm2cm2 and the introduction of an FPGA based displaced vertex trigger.
