Standard implementations of Continuous Spontaneous Localization (CSL) assume white noise with an infinite bandwidth, leading to a divergent heating rate and the prediction of unobserved spontaneous X-ray emission (the “Heating Catastrophe”). This paper presents a complete mathematical resolution using a relativistic coloured noise field with a Lorentz invariant spectral density D(k) = λσ2/[1 + (kμkμL2c)n]. We derive the exact suppression factor S for the spontaneous emission rate. For a correlation time τc ≈ 10−12 s, the high frequency spectral tail scales as ω−2n. We demonstrate that for the X-ray regime (ω ∼ 1018Hz), the per-mode suppression is ∼ 10−12, moderated by phase space integration to a total factor of S ≈ 10−8. This reduces the predicted radiation rate below the sensitivity floors of IGEX and CUORE, resolving the tension with experimental data while preserving macroscopic collapse.
