【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we will present STAR's future plan in terms of both the detector upgrade and physics measurement to study matter with colour degrees of freedom. We will first discuss the status of the newly installed Heavy Flavor Tracker and Muon Telescope Detector, and their physics prospect in 2014-2016. We will then describe the proposed detector upgrades for the second phase of Beam Energy Scan program in 2018-2019 to study the QCD phase diagram. Finally we will present STAR's plan with detector upgrades in the forward directions for the anticipated pp/pA physics program in 2021-2022 and ep/eA in 2025+. The upgraded STAR experiment will be in an excellent position to perform precision measurements of the partonic structures of the nucleon and nuclei.
