I'm unsure about the sign of the circular polarization.
Assume the magnetic field is pointed toward the observer.
In the Zeeman effect spectrum, is the CCW polarized emission at higher or lower wavelength than the CW polarized emission.
I think the CCW polarized emission is higher, and this is reversed if we change the direction of the magnetic field.
