Description
Using the concept of the crossing state and the formalism of second quantization, we propose a prescription for computing the density of arrivals of particles for multiparticle states, both in the free and the interacting case. The densities thus computed are positive, covariant in time for time independent Hamiltonians, normalized to the total number of arrivals, and related to the flux. We investigate the behavior of this prescription for bosons and fermions, finding boson enhancement and fermion depletion of arrivals
