epsilon is the gap, so either way it should be on opposite side of the log(r). Smaller gap, stronger shielding but smaller radius weaker shielding. Am I going nuts?

Hm I guess you're right. I don't know what to tell you. I guess we'd have to have a look at the exact definitions they use in the paper :-)
