Satellite features at B = 1000 T =================================== **Script:** ``examples/diag_halpha_satellites.py`` Searches for the :math:`\pm 2\mu_B B` Stark-Zeeman satellite feature in Hα (n=3→2) at B = 1000 T, at three quadrature resolutions (``num_f``/``num_mu`` = 20/6, 40/10, 60/12) to check convergence, both with and without the quadratic Zeeman term. .. note:: This is an exploratory/diagnostic script, not a validated result: at the plasma conditions used here (:math:`N_e = 10^{17}` m\ :sup:`-3`, :math:`T_e = 5` eV) no distinctly resolved satellite peak is found at :math:`\pm 2\mu_B B` in the full-resolution profile — see the physical mechanism described in the script's docstring for the effect it was searching for. A companion script that claimed a specific ~2% satellite for Hβ (n=4→2) was found not to reproduce against the current solver and is intentionally not included here.
