Another Proof of Born's Rule on Arbitrary Cauchy Surfaces
read the original abstract
In 2017, Lienert and Tumulka proved Born's rule on arbitrary Cauchy surfaces in Minkowski space-time assuming Born's rule and a corresponding collapse rule on horizontal surfaces relative to a fixed Lorentz frame, as well as a given unitary time evolution between any two Cauchy surfaces, satisfying that there is no interaction faster than light and no propagation faster than light. Here, we prove Born's rule on arbitrary Cauchy surfaces from a different, but equally reasonable, set of assumptions. The conclusion is that if detectors are placed along any Cauchy surface $\Sigma$, then the observed particle configuration on $\Sigma$ is a random variable with distribution density $|\Psi_\Sigma|^2$, suitably understood. The main different assumption is that the Born and collapse rules hold on any spacelike hyperplane, i.e., at any time coordinate in any Lorentz frame. Heuristically, this follows if the dynamics of the detectors is Lorentz invariant.

Scattering Cross Section Formula Derived From Macroscopic Model of Detectors
The usual quantum scattering cross-section formula is derived as the actual detection distribution from imaginary-potential and repeated-measurement detector models in the far-field limit.
