30. The magnetic field-induced frequency uncertainty is determined from the product of the measured residual magnetic field by means of the clock transition linewidth and experimentally determined frequency shifts versus given magnetic fields along three orthogonal directions. The total systematic uncertainty includes Stark shifts associated with the lattice and the probe beams, magnetic shift, density shift, and blackbody shift. For further details, see M. M.
