singular points <strong>of</strong> the wave functions, nor is it a solution for populations that get trapped in<br />
high-energy states. Be careful about this option when you do not know the reason for the<br />
population problems in the first place.<br />
MAGNETIC FIELD (Logical) Apply an external magnetic field using the magnetic vector potential<br />
specified in expot.data. See Sec. 37.<br />
MAKEMOVIE (Logical) Plot the particle positions every movieplot moves (see Sec. 11).<br />
MANUAL INTERACTION (Block) When interaction is set to ‘<strong>manual</strong>’, this block is used to<br />
specify the form and parameters <strong>of</strong> the desired interaction. The format is either<br />
square_well<br />
Height : -2.0<br />
Width : 3.0<br />
or<br />
poschl_teller<br />
Mu : 12<br />
V_0 : -1.0<br />
or<br />
hard_sphere<br />
D : 0.88<br />
where ‘Height’, ‘Width’, V 0 , µ and D are parameters describing the shape <strong>of</strong> the potential. A<br />
negative ‘Height’ or V 0 implies a potential well. For hard-sphere particles, D is the diameter.<br />
See Sec. 20.<br />
MAX CPU TIME (Physical) If the CPU time elapsed since the start <strong>of</strong> a QMC simulation exceeds<br />
max cpu time and a suitable point in the algorithm is reached, then casino will halt gracefully.<br />
This should make it easier to carry out, e.g., multiple DMC runs on a computer with a queueing<br />
system, particularly when used with the --continue or --auto-continue options <strong>of</strong> runqmc.<br />
Note that in DMC, if checkpoint=0 in input and there is a job time limit, it is strongly<br />
recommended that max cpu time is used to ensure the config.out file is written out if the<br />
required CPU time is longer than the time limit. max cpu time is a physical parameter with<br />
dimensions <strong>of</strong> time, and the units can be specified as, e.g., 1 day, 24 hr, 1440 min, or 86400 s.<br />
See also the max real time keyword.<br />
MAX REAL TIME (Physical) If the wall-clock time elapsed since the start <strong>of</strong> a QMC simulation<br />
exceeds max real time and a suitable point in the algorithm is reached, then casino will halt<br />
gracefully. This should make it easier to carry out, e.g., multiple DMC runs on a computer with<br />
a queueing system, particularly when used with the --continue or --auto-continue options<br />
<strong>of</strong> runqmc. Note that in DMC, if checkpoint=0 in input and there is a job time limit, it is<br />
strongly recommended that max real time is used to ensure the config.out file is written out<br />
if the required time is longer than the time limit. max real time is a physical parameter with<br />
dimensions <strong>of</strong> time, and the units can be specified as, e.g., 1 day, 24 hr, 1440 min, or 86400 s.<br />

MAX REC ATTEMPTS (Integer) This is the maximum number <strong>of</strong> times that DMC will attempt<br />
to restart a block if it continues to encounter population-explosion catastrophes. Relevant only<br />
if the dmc trip weight keyword is set to a nonzero value. See the discussion in Sec. 13.9 for<br />
more details.<br />
MOLGSCREENING (Logical) Toggle on and <strong>of</strong>f the use <strong>of</strong> screening in Gaussian basis set calculations<br />
<strong>of</strong> molecules, i.e., the division <strong>of</strong> space into boxes and the preparation <strong>of</strong> lists <strong>of</strong> which<br />
Gaussian basis functions have a significant weight in each box. The use <strong>of</strong> screening should<br />
speed up the calculation <strong>of</strong> large molecules. The screening information can take up a reasonable<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> memory; hence the existence <strong>of</strong> this keyword.<br />
MOM DEN (Logical) If set to T the momentum density will be accumulated. Exclusively for HEGs<br />
at the moment.<br />
