those with 0 populations are the levels that you don't have a radiative decay rates calculated.
for polarization calculation, you need to calculate the radiative transition rates with specific multipoles. the 4th arg of the TRTable or TransitionTable needs to be defined. if left missing, the decay rates of different multipoles are summed up. but magnetic sublevel transitions needs to have individual multipoles to split.
Thanks for your answer, unfortunately it didn't resolve the issue I'm having. I ran TRTable with m up to +-7, results are at: https://mcloud.mpi-hd.mpg.de/index.php/s/fBEXk2RtjR7pWc4
Still, most states remain unpopulated. Am I overlooking something? Furthermore, could you comment on the command line output from the pol.py script? It reads
0 0.0000E+00 1.00000000E+00 0.00000000E+00 2.8768E-01
Does this tell me something about the achieved accuracy of the iteration proces?
found and fixed the issue in the latest update. you only need to rerun pol.py script.
Thanks, works as expected now :-)

Thanks to the previous bug fix, I was able to get a CE file for the magnetic sublevels that I'm interested in. I load this using the pfac.pol functions and try to run the population iteration, no errors are given. However, in the populations file, most excitations above 15 eV appear to remain unpopulated. I've tried several different combinations of settings for e-density and SetMIteration, but nothing seems to help.
It seems that some highly excited states are actually populated, like ILEV 258 and 262, which belong to the same configuration. Is the a buffer overflow due to strange configurations or high J's again? As before, help is greatly appreciated!
