Abstract

We evaluate the performance of an LHCb-like detector using a fast simulation of proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 50 and 100 TeV. The study shows that detector acceptances and resolutions could be similar to those at the LHC. Together with the increase of production cross-sections of light particles with higher energy, such a hypothetical experiment could reach unprecedented sensitivities in flavor observables.
