High-luminosity LHC prospects with the upgraded ATLAS detector

Run 1 at the LHC was very successful with the discovery of a new boson. The boson's properties are found to be compatible with those of the Standard Model Higgs boson. It is now revealing the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and (possibly) the discovery of physics beyond the Standard Model that are the primary goals of the just restarted LHC. The ultimate precision will be reached at the High-Luminosity LHC phase with a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV. In this contribution physics prospects are presented for ATLAS for the integrated luminosities 300/fb and 3000/fb: the ultimate precision attainable on measurements of the Higgs boson couplings to elementary fermions and bosons, its trilinear self-coupling, as well as perspectives on the searches for supersymmetric partners associated with the Higgs boson. Benchmark studies are presented to show how the sensitivity improves at the future LHC runs. For all these studies, a parametrised simulation of the upgraded ATLAS detector is used and expected pileup conditions are accounted for.
