Hi Leonardo,
It is HSE06.
I'm not sure where you got the value 0.15 bohr^-1 for HSE06. You can
see in Krukau et al., JCP 125, 224106 (2006), that they say to use
0.11 bohr^-1 (or 0.15/sqrt(2)). (Also compare, in VASP they use 0.2
Angstrom^-1.) The same value is used for both PBE and HF parts.
Shameless plug: some small details about the implementation can also
be found in Komsa et al., PRB 81, 205118 (2010).
Best regards,
