We have found that the noise power $ S_I(\\omega )$ (both at low and high observation frequencies $\\omega $) drops to half of its 'mesoscopic' value only at $\\beta \\gtrsim 100,$ where $\\beta $ is the ratio of the sample length $L$ to the energy relaxation length $l_{% {\\rm ph}}$ (the latter may be much larger then the dephasing length). It means in particular that at low temperatures the shot noise may be substantial even when $L\\sim 10^{-2}$ -- $10^{-1}$ cm, and the conductor is 'macroscopic' in any other respect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-03-27T05:31:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "shot noise", "electron-phonon interaction effects", "diffusive conductors", "quantitative analysis", "electron energy relaxation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
