Hi All the data is in an adev plot. In this case short is < 100 seconds, and long is > 10,000 seconds. Those are rough numbers, since a really good Rb (like Corby's) may cross over a bit earlier. A really crummy Cs (low beam current) might not cross over for a couple of days against a well stabilized Rb or Maser. A good BVA OCXO will give the Rb a bit more of a run for it's money ….
The cross overs will happen. Where is going to depend entirely on the specific individual standards you happen to have. If you are making decisions about which of your boxes to use, you have to measure them.
