Abstract

While groundbreaking measurements on the properties of strongly interacting matter in p + p, p + A and A + A collisions at the LHC are being performed, it is clear that many important questions in heavy–ion physics will remain unanswered in this first phase of beam times up to 2017. The ALICE is setting up a program of detector upgrades to be installed in the LHC shutdown planned for 2017/18, to address the new scientific challenges. We will discuss examples of the scientific frontiers and upgrade projects under study for the ALICE experiment.
