We study the horizontal distribution of zeros of
'(s) which are denoted as
' =β' +i
'. We assume the Riemann hypothesis which implies β'
1/2 for any nonreal zero
', equality being possible only at a multiple zero of
(s). In this paper, we prove that lim inf (β' –1/2)log
'
0 if, and only if, for any c > 0 and s =
+ it with 0

0, then for any c>0 and s=
+ it (t>t1(c)), we have
