Two invariant surface-tensors determine CSL of massive body wave function
Abstract
Decoherence of massive body wave function under Continuous Spontaneous Localization is reconsidered. It is shown for homogeneous probes with wave functions narrow in position and angle that decoherence is a surface effect. Corresponding new surface integrals are derived as the main result. Probe's constant density and two completely geometric surface-dependent invariant tensors encode full dependence of positional and angular decoherence of masses, irrespective of their microscopic structure. The two surface-tensors offer a new insight into CSL and a flexible approach to design laboratory test masses.
