Born's rule for momentum measurement from prequantum field theory

Description

Recently a new attempt to go beyond quantum mechanics (QM) was done in the form of so called prequantum classical statistical field theory (PCSFT). In this approach QM is considered as incomplete theory - in total accordance with Einstein. PCSFT is (one of possible) completions of QM. Hidden variables are given by classical fields. (It is again in accordance with Einstein.) These prequantum fields fluctuate on time and space scales which are essentially finer than scales of QM, cf. 't Hooft's attempt to go beyond QM. However opposite to Einstein, PCSFT does not assign results of quantum observations directly to hidden variables. Bohr's idea that the whole experimental arrangement should be taken into account is basic for PCSFT-based measurement theory. This theory for measurements of momentum of quantum particles is presented in this paper.
