For equal particle rates in the GRW model, the next centre falls in B with probability N−1∑i​∫B​∥Li​(c)Ψ∥2dc. With zero Hamiltonian operator, two successive centres in B have joint probability N−2∑ij​∫B​dc∫B​dd∥Lj​(d)Li​(c)Ψ∥2. Dividing by the first-event probability gives the conditional second event, including repeated particle labels. Spatial probabilities depend on actual packet mass, not solely the nominal packet centres.
