The suppression observed in this experiment varies between 0.2 and 0.4 and is voltage dependent. As suggested in Refs. 8, the observed effect can be due to the noise caused by electron heating.

20. Current correlations in normal conductors are quite generally negative (see Ref. 14). Thus (Formula presented) as defined here, are positive quantities in normal conductors. In contrast, in hybrid normal and superconducting structures the current-current correlations can change sign. See M. P. Anantram and S. Datta, Phys. Rev. B 53, 16 390 (1996).
