Dear developers and users
I am using EPW v.4.1.0 with QE 6.0.
I tried lead example in EPW examples. I got the linewidth.phself. However I am bit confused about the obtained output format. Here I copied the very beginning part of the linewidth.phself file I obtained.
# Phonon frequency and phonon lifetime in meV
# Q-point Mode Phonon freq (meV) Phonon linewidth (meV)

I wanted to plot this linewidth Vs K as for diamond example. But this format is different with diamond's linewidth.phself given in your example out.ref folder. It has the format given below and with my file I am unable to find different modes.

my problem is :
1. Why lead and diamonds have different linewidth.phself ? How to get the diamond format?
2. What is the meaning of Q point mode in diamond file?
Just for clarification,
What is the difference of Re[Sigma] and Im[Sigma] written at the end of the epw.out and epw2.out files. I beleive epw2.out data are for electron_self energy and epw.out are for phonon_self energy. Am I correct??
Thank you very much
Jaya
