The maximum-likelihood fit is shown as the orange line, together with its corresponding 1σ error band (grey). The scattered points are used to guide the eye and represent a binned set of the data with 68% confidence levels given by a binomial fit. 68% confidence levels for the resonance centre are shown as vertical grey lines. The square shadows above represent the successful spin-flips in the precision trap, whereas the ones below show the unsuccessful attempts. FWHM, full width at half maximum.
