In addition to the standard CIS job controls variables described in Section 7.2.8, there are several additional $rem variables to specify for an ALMO-CIS/ALMO-CIS+CT calculation.

LOCAL_CIS

LOCAL_CIS
       Invoke ALMO-CIS/TDA or ALMO-CIS/TDA+CT calculations.
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0
OPTIONS:
       0 Regular CIS/TDDFT calculations 1 ALMO-CIS/TDA without RI 2 ALMO-CIS with RI
RECOMMENDATION:
       Use 2 when running full-spectrum ALMO-CIS calculations (EIGSLV_METH = 0) Use 1 when running the iterative version of ALMO-CIS/TDA (EIGSLV_METH = 1)

EIGSLV_METH

EIGSLV_METH
       Control the method for solving the ALMO-CIS eigen-equation
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0
OPTIONS:
       0 Explicitly build the Hamiltonian then diagonalize (full-spectrum) 1 Use the Davidson method (currently only available for restricted cases)
RECOMMENDATION:
       None; use 1 for ALMO-TDA calculations (0 unavailable)

NN_THRESH

NN_THRESH
       The distance cutoff for neighboring fragments (between which CT excitation occurs).
TYPE:
       INTEGER
DEFAULT:
       0
OPTIONS:
       0 Do not include interfragment transitions (ALMO-CIS/TDA) $n$ Include interfragment excitations between pairs of fragments the distances between whom are smaller than $n$ $a_{0}$ (ALMO-CIS/TDA+CT)
RECOMMENDATION:
       None

Example 12.45 ALMO-CIS+CT calculation ( $r_{\mathrm{cut}}=10$ $a_{0}$ ) for all the $n=2$ states of a helium dimer.
