We address the question of how to compute the probability distribution of the time at which a detector clicks, in the situation of n non-relativistic quantum particles in a volume Ω⊂R3 in physical space and detectors placed along the boundary ∂Ω of Ω. We have previously [arXiv:1601.03715] argued in favor of a rule for the 1-particle case that involves a Schrödinger equation with an absorbing boundary condition on ∂Ω introduced by Werner; we call this rule the "absorbing boundary rule." Here, we describe the natural extension of the absorbing boundary rule to the n-particle case. A key element of this extension is that, upon a detection event, the wave function gets collapsed by inserting the detected position, at the time of detection, into the wave function, thus yielding a wave function of n−1 particles. We also describe an extension of the absorbing boundary rule to the case of moving detectors.
