Abstract
Motivated by the success of the flavour physics programme carried out overthe last decade at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we characterize in detailthe physics potential of its High-Luminosity and High-Energy upgrades in thisdomain of physics. We document the extraordinary breadth of the HL/HE-LHCprogramme enabled by a putative Upgrade II of the dedicated flavour physicsexperiment LHCb and the evolution of the established flavour physics role ofthe ATLAS and CMS general purpose experiments. We connect the dedicated flavourphysics programme to studies of the top quark, Higgs boson, and directhigh-$p_T$ searches for new particles and force carriers. We discuss thecomplementarity of their discovery potential for physics beyond the StandardModel, affirming the necessity to fully exploit the LHC's flavour physicspotential throughout its upgrade eras.
