“…Since the effect of the noise is usually very similar to the one given by the decoherence [9,29], and it is well know from the literature that in such cases decoherence dumps the oscillation with an exponential function, we can think at the term inside the square bracket as the first term of the series of an exponential function. Therefore, we can guess that the exact result for the probability transition from a kaon to an anti-kaon could reasonably be:…”

“…if there is no noise (γ = 0) the square bracket gives 1 and arrive at the standard oscillations formula 3 [9,29]. 3 In some of these works, inside the cosine, only the mass difference appears.…”

“…Particle and antiparticle are distinguished only by the flavor quantum number, exhibiting the phenomenon of flavor oscillations in their time evolution [1,2] (see also [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]). In the following we will focus on K-mesons, but our conclusions can be easily generalized to the other flavored meson systems, as discussed at the end of the paper.…”

Collapse models predict the spontaneous collapse of the wave function, in order to avoid the emergence of macroscopic superpositions. In their mass-dependent formulation, they claim that the collapse of any system's wave function depends on its mass. Neutral K, D, B mesons are oscillating systems that are given by Nature as superposition of different mass eigenstates. Thus they are unique and interesting systems to look at, for analyzing the experimental implications of such models, so far in agreement with all known experiments. In this paper we derive-for the single mesons and bipartite entangled mesons-the effect of the mass-proportional CSL collapse model on the dynamics on neutral mesons, including the relativistic effects. We compare the theoretical prediction with experimental data from different accelerator facilities.
