• Abstract: Currently there is not a satisfactory relativistic spontaneous collapse model. Here we show the impossibility of a simple generalization of the continuous spontaneous collapse (CSL) model to the relativistic framework. We consider a mass coupled model as in the non-relativistic limit this gives the CSL model. We show that a Lorentz covariant collapse equation cannot simultaneously satisfy the following conditions: i) To avoid a divergent rate of energy, ii) To prevent superluminal signaling.

  We investigate the phenomenology leading to the non-conservation of energy of the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) model. We use such framework to assess the equilibration process entailed by the dissipative formulation of the model (dCSL) We show that the CSL model violates Clausius law, as it exhibits a negative entropy production rate.

• A proposal for a new kind of spontaneous collapse model [0.0]
  We propose a new kind of non-relativistic spontaneous collapse model based on the idea of collapse points situated at fixed spacetime coordinates. We show that it can lead to a dynamics quite similar to that of the GRW model while also naturally solving the problem of indistinguishable particles. We show how our proposed model solves the measurement problem in a manner conceptually similar to the GRW model.
