Description
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been successfully delivering proton-proton collision 
data at a centre of mass energy of 13 TeV. An upgrade is planned to increase the instantaneous 
luminosity delivered by the LHC by a factor of 5-7 (HL-LHC) for running in 2026 and beyond and 
there is also another possible future upgrade considered for running at an energy of 27 TeV at 
the high-energy LHC (HE-LHC). In the last 1.5 years, the LHC experiments prepared a CERN Yellow 
Report which summarises the physics reach for HL-LHC and HE-LHC and serves as input to the European 
Strategy this year. This talk shows some of the highlights of the physics reach at the HL-LHC and 
HE-LHC reported in the Yellow Report. The physics reach is shown for Higgs couplings measurements, 
di-Higgs boson production sensitivity, Vector Boson Scattering prospects as well as the discovery 
potential for electroweak SUSY and other exotic benchmark scenarios.
