The LHC is a discovery machine, so a large number of searches for new physics as well as measurements of known physics can take place at the same time.
The idea that it is a single-trick experiment is a misconception. Its a quantum statistical experiment where proton collisions at high energy yields random particles based on the probability of specific interactions taking place.
This is unnecessarily dismissive. Even the grants themselves will include a list of things they hope to discover or measure with this refresh; this is a perfectly reasonable question to ask.
