15. The low-bias conductance in this sample is affected by a zero-bias anomaly (ZBA) that originates in the resistive leads, which serve as built-in filters (Ref.). To factor it out, we normalize the data in Figs. by the ZBA vs T dependence measured simultaneously in the neighboring even-electron valley [visible on the left side of Fig.], which is not affected by the Kondo box effect. The validity of the procedure is supported by the fact that the conductance in the even valley becomes independent of temperature for a range of V gate, as expected for temperatures much smaller than the relevant energy scales.
