We are presenting the new version of AloHEP to the high energy physics community.

ALOHEPv2
The Motivation
The software AloHEP has been initially developed for estimation of main parameters of linac-ring type ep colliders. In this version AloHEP has been upgraded for all types of colliders (linear, circular and linac-ring) as well as colliding beams (electron, positron, muon, proton and nuclei).
General Structure
ALOHEP has a Java based environment and therefore will be platform-independent.
The software requires you to enter the main parameters of first and second accelerators as input (for example electron beam from linac and proton beam from hadron collider).
Then, right after the luminosity computation, new frame appears to show final results.
Finally, the current version is a beta version and therefore quite open to your feedback, comments and also questions. We are trying to develop the software as “user-firendly” as possible. Do not hesitate to contact us:

INSTRUCTIONS
ALOHEP has a Java based environment and therefore will be platform-independent. You can run the program only with a double-click in all operating systems (if you have problems with the visual part of the simulation or running the jar as executable, we recommend to install java-7-openjdk or a higher version).
When you run the program, you will come across with a frame that requires main collider parameters from the user. The left column includes parameters of first beam and the right one includes second.
First of all, you should choose colliding particles using combobox. Then, you may enter beam parameters manually or select the existing default parameters of well-known accelerators by clicking buttons below parameters.
In general, transverse beam sizes are quite different if different type of particles are collided. For instance, electron beams usually have much more smaller sizes compared to hadron beams. For this reason transverse sizes are matched to larger ones. Concerning collision frequency lowest one is chosen.
