What does the $\ll$ operator signify? This paper says "order" but why didn't they use the big or little Oh notation? is the same thing?

"Our goal in this note is to discuss the behaviour of $\zeta(s)$ in the critical strip $0\leq\sigma\leq1$. More precisely, we want to inspect how $\zeta(s)$ varies with $t$, the imaginary part of $s$, in an infinite vertical strip in this critical region. One of the most intriguing hypothesis in this direction is the Lindelof hypothesis. It states that for any $e\gt0$, $\zeta(0.5+it)\ll t^e$, where $\ll$ denotes order" so is that the same as saying $\zeta(0.5+it)\in O(t^e)$ ?
