Abstract: We consider the distribution of $argzeta(sigma+it)$ on fixed lines $sigma>frac12$, and in particular the density [d(sigma) = lim_{T ightarrow +infty} frac{1}{2T} |{t in [-T,+T]: |argzeta(sigma+it)| > pi/2}|,,] and the closely related density [d_{-}(sigma) = lim_{T ightarrow +infty} frac{1}{2T} |{t in [-T,+T]: Rezeta(sigma+it) < 0}|,.] Using classical results of Bohr and Jessen, we obtain an explicit expression for the characteristic function $ps{i}_{s}igma(x)$ associated with $argzeta(sigma+it)$. We give explicit expressions for $d(sigma)$ and $d_{-}(sigma)$ in terms of $ps{i}_{s}igma(x)$. Finally, we give a practical algorithm for evaluating these expressions to obtain accurate numerical values of $d(sigma)$ and $d_{-}(sigma)$.
