We have investigated transport through graphene Andreev interferometers exhibiting reentrance of the superconducting proximity effect. We observed a crossover in the Andreev conductance oscillations as a function of gate voltage (VBG). At high VBG the energy-dependent oscillation amplitude exhibits a scaling predicted for non-interacting electrons, which breaks down at low VBG. The phenomenon is a manifestation of electron-electron interactions, whose main effect is to shorten the single-particle phase coherence time τϕ. These results indicate that graphene provides a useful experimental platform to investigate the competition between superconducting proximity effect and interactions.
