Abstract

We performed low temperature shot noise measurements in superconductor (TiN) strongly disordered normal metal (heavily doped Si) weakly transparent junctions. We show that the conductance has a maximum due to coherent multiple Andreev reflections at low energy and that the shot noise is then twice the Poisson noise (S=4eI). When the subgap conductance reaches its minimum at finite voltage the shot noise changes to the normal value (S=2eI) due to a large quasiparticle contribution.
