The Continuous Spontaneous Localization Layering Effect from a Lattice Perspective

Abstract

For a solid lattice, we rederive the Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) noise total energy gain of a test mass starting from a Lindblad formulation, and from a similar starting point rederive the geometry factor governing center of mass energy gain. We then suggest that the geometry factor can be used as a way to distinguish between low temperature cantilever motion saturation arising from CSL noise, and saturation arising from thermal leakage.
