  ORBITAL_SET
  	ORBITAL_SET ALL
  	Type of orbitals treated with the SIC
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword.
  	Default value: UNPAIRED
  	List of valid keywords: ALL correction for all orbitals, requires a LSD or ROKS calculation UNPAIRED correction for the unpaired orbitals only, requires a restricted open shell calculation

  SIC_METHOD
  	SIC_METHOD MAURI_US
  	Method used to remove the self interaction
  	This optional keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword.
  	Default value: NONE
  	List of valid keywords: AD The average density correction EXPLICIT_ORBITALS (scaled) Perdew-Zunger correction explicitly on a set of orbitals. MAURI_SPZ Employ a (scaled) Perdew-Zunger expression on the spin density / doublet unpaired orbital MAURI_US Employ a (scaled) correction proposed by Mauri and co-workers on the spin density / doublet unpaired orbital NONE Do not apply a sic correction
