  SECTION_PARAMETERS
  	&DFT_PLUS_U {Logical}
  	Controls the activation of the DFT+U section
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.

  EPS_U_RAMPING
  	EPS_U_RAMPING {Real}
  	Threshold value (SCF convergence) for incrementing the effective U value when U ramping is active.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.00000000E-005

  INIT_U_RAMPING_EACH_SCF
  	INIT_U_RAMPING_EACH_SCF {Logical}
  	Set the initial U ramping value to zero before each wavefunction optimisation. The default is to apply U ramping only for the initial wavefunction optimisation.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical.
  	The lone keyword behaves as a switch to .TRUE.
  	Default value: .FALSE.

  L
  	L {Integer}
  	Angular momentum quantum number of theorbitals to which the correction is applied
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one integer.
  	Default value: -1

  U_MINUS_J
  	U_MINUS_J {Real}
  	Effective parameter U(eff) = U - J
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+000
  	Default unit: [hartree]
  	Alias names for this keyword: U_EFF

  U_RAMPING
  	U_RAMPING {Real}
  	Increase the effective U parameter stepwise using the specified increment until the target value given by U_MINUS_J is reached.
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 0.00000000E+000
  	Default unit: [hartree]
