I am looking for a proof based on characteristic functions for the generalized central limit theorem when the second moment does not exist, in which case one ends up with a power law rather than a Gaussian state.

This Theorem is described on the wikipedia page of the CLT click me but unfortunately there is no modern reference to this result given.

Welcome to MO! This theorem is e.g. Theorem 14 on page 91 of Petrov's book, with further references to [24], [50].
