# The Continuous Spontaneous Localization Layering Effect from a Lattice Perspective

## TL;DR

This paper rederives the CSL noise energy gain and geometry factor for solid lattices, proposing a method to differentiate between CSL-induced and thermal saturation in low-temperature cantilever experiments.

## Contribution

It provides a new derivation of the CSL noise energy gain and introduces the geometry factor as a tool to distinguish CSL effects from thermal leakage.

## Key findings

- Derived the CSL noise total energy gain from a Lindblad approach.
- Rederived the geometry factor governing center of mass energy gain.
- Suggested using the geometry factor to differentiate CSL saturation from thermal effects.

## 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.
