the varable controls how the poles of the response function are described.
To compute the lifetimes yambo performes a GW calculation solving the frequency integral on the real axis. The response function enters in the integral.
By default poles are grouped together only if they are exactly degenerate in energy: LifeTrCG=100. (%)
If you reduce the value of the variable the poles will be grouped also if they are not exacty degenerate. In practice the variables ccontrols how much the code is sensitive to the energy dfference between two poles. 100% is the maximun sensitivity the code has. Reducing it, you could speed up your calculation but you should not to reduce it too much ...

Hi Davide,
Thanks for your reply. I know this is a silly question, but how should I know which point will be the best one... I mean in the tutorial it uses 30, is there any specific reason to set this value as 30?
Plus, I was trying to calculate it with 30, but it shows me an error as following:

Do you have any suggestion on this?
