Abstract
Collapse models consist in dynamical reformulations of the standard quantum mechanics aiming to solve the measurement problem. The standard Schrödinger dynamics is modified with the introduction of nonlinear and stochastic terms, which induce the wave function collapse in space. Collapse models predict slight deviations from the standard quantum mechanics predictions, in particular the emission of a “spontaneous radiation”, which we explored to set the most stringent limits on the collapse models parameters in a broad range. To this end, the X-ray emission data collected by the IGEX collaboration are analyzed and compared with the spectrum of the spontaneous photon emission process predicted by the theories. The results of the data analyses, and the ongoing experimental efforts will be presented.
