We find that the non-equilibrium plasmonic excitations in the central wire segment give rise to qualitatively different behavior compared to the case with equilibrium plasmons. In particular, shot noise is greatly enhanced by them, and exceeds the Poisson limit. We show that the enhancement can be explained by the emergence of several current-carrying processes, and that the effect disappears if the channels effectively collapse to one due to, {\\em e.g.}, fast plasmon relaxation processes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-03-17T10:55:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "shot noise", "full counting statistics", "non-equilibrium plasmons", "luttinger-liquid junctions", "wire segment" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
