Dear Cp2k experts,

I have a question around DFT-D3 VDW correction in cp2k. How do we set the 
parameter *R_CUTOFF 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/ATOM/METHOD/XC/VDW_POTENTIAL/PAIR_POTENTIAL.html#R_CUTOFF>*
?  

I started with 7.5 angstroms (half of my cell size), but I observed 
energies change by 5 Kj/mol when I increase the cutoff to 10 angstroms. Can 
someone explain me please how to choose this parameter properly to get 
reliable results?

Please find attached my input and topology file.

Thanks,
Alex
