Hello everyone, 

I tried to calculate spin-orbit coupling of 27Co using the sample code of 
Test_v2/t84 
for 73Ta but it seems to me the result does not agree with the other data. 
(Almost exactly factor 2 for d orbital.)
I slightly changed the t84 code for Co and used HGH pseudo potential of Co.
Also for spin-orbit coupling, nspinor 2, pspso 2 options were used.
Here is a brief result.

I included the detailed data set and the code that I used.
I guess taht some options are not good for Co or I misinterpreted the result
