Using the definition of the time-walk curve, the lifetime of the 21+ (344 keV) state in 152Gd was re-measured, resulting in τ(21+)=46.9(3) ps. Compared to the previously adopted lifetime the uncertainty is reduced by an order of magnitude. This improved lifetime is of significant importance for electronic fast-timing lifetime measurements, and the impact on the systematic correction procedure and lifetime measurements in the low picosecond regime are discussed.
