Abstract
The authors present a detailed assessment of continuous spontaneous localization (one of the best-known models for spontaneous wave-function collapse) collapse and diffusion rates for the center-of-mass motion of rigid extended objects of simple geometry, and discuss in particular corrections arising from the lattice structure of crystalline solids. Among other things, they find that the collapse rate depends on the difference of the mass distributions of the two states onto which the rate is evaluated, i.e., the states onto which the superposition state can collapse.
