Heavy Ion Plans: Experiments Perspective

An outlook of the experiments needs for Heavy Ion physics for the next ten years is given, including a summary of required beam types and configurations (e.g. p-Pb and collision energies other than the nominal 13 TeV). We discuss which, if any, other ion species than Pb are being considered. The experiment expectations in terms of integrated luminosities are discussed, along with the impact usefulness, or otherwise, of different scheduling options for the Ion physics program. Different ion running scenarios, as well as the interest of an extended ion run, in light of the upgrade plans and goals are discussed in terms of integrated luminosity and physics targets.
