You may check two review papers [1]: Dimitrov and Rusev, The zeros of entire Fourier transforms, EAST JOURNAL ON APPROXIMATIONS Volume 17, Number 1 (2011), 1-108 [2]: Ki, The Zeros of Fourier Transforms. For the definition of flatness, you may try $\delta=\int_{-a}^{a}|f'(z)-f'(0)|$. If f(z)=const, then $\delta=0$
@SylvainJULIEN Thanks for comment. I corrected my post to reflect the fact that $\lambda$ is not the De Buijn-Newman constant $\Lambda$. As far as I can remember, Csordas, Odlyzko,Smith,Varga, obtained this lower bound value of $\Lambda$ based on a close pair of numerical zeros of Riemann $\zeta$ function found by Odlyzko.
Hutchinson (1923) seemed to be the first one who found such sufficient conditions for polynomials and entire functions to have only real zeros. (J. I. Hutchinson, On a Remarkable Class of Entire Functions , Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 25, No. 3 (Jul., 1923), pp.325-332)
