Hi,

I would like to know exactly which "version" of HSE is implemented on 
Quantum-ESPRESSO.
In the original HSE work a value for the screening parameter w is used, but on 
an errata another value is given.

In recent publications they are usually called HSE03 (which uses 
w_{HF}=0.15/sqrt(2) and w_{PBE}=0.15 x 2^(1/3) ) and HSE06 
(w_{HF}=w_{PBE}=0.15).

Looking at the code insde funct.f90 I found "screening_parameter = 0.106", 
which is the value of w_{HF} used on HSE03, which induces me to think that it's 
this "version" that is implemented.
I couldn't find though if this value is used also for w_{PBE} (which would be a 
mistake) or not (and w_{PBE} is corrected at a later point in calculation).

Can someone give me some info?

Thanks,
