From Yamac:
I think the relevant lines of code are lines 1888-1889 in ThePhysics.py, copied below. I see two factors at play here. The growth quality parameter product, having units of length squared, needs an additional factor of 1e-9. In addition, the final result for broadening would have to be divided by the electron charge to convert to units of eV. Since DeltaLambda is squared in the second line, the combined correction would be a factor of 6.25, which I think would bring us back to the right ballpark.

DeltaLambda = 0.76 * 1e-9
twogamma = pi*data.me[0]*m0*e0**2/hbar**2 * DeltaLambda**2 * (data.EcG[1] - data.EcG[0])**2 * psi2int2 *1e3
