Description: SCISSOR specifies the shift for the scissor operator in eV.
The scissor operator in BSE and GW calculations shifts empty states relative to the valence states[1]. For example, the scissor operator can be used in the BSE calculations to match the band gap to the known experimental value, thus achieving the right offset in the calculated spectrum. Notably, unlike the self-energy operator in GW, the scissor operator applies a universal shift to all conduction states, i.e., the shift is independent of energy or momentum and leaves the valence states unchanged.
