[Pw_forum] SaX optical suite, release 1.0.0 GNU-GPL available

[SaX developers Team]

The SaX developers Team and the INFM-CNR S3 in Modena, Italy, is proud to
announce that the SaX optical suite, release 1.0.0 is available at
www.sax-project.org.

SaX is an Open source GNU-GPL package for the calculation of electronic
excitations, developed at the National Research Center on nanoStructures
and bioSystems at Surfaces (S3) of the Italian INFM-CNR.

SaX works in the framework of Many Body Perturbation Theory within the GW
approximation. Sax calculations will provide the user with:

   - Full dynamical structure of the Random-Phase-Approximation
Polarizability
   - Quasiparticle energies and wave functions
   - Different implementations of the GW scheme
   - Different degree of self-consistency in the GW scheme
   - Excitonic effects within the Bethe-Salpeter Equation

SaX works, in principle, as postprocessing of a previous DFT calculation.
In the present version, the package is interfaced with DFT codes of the
Quantum-Espresso distribution (www.quantumespresso.org).
