Abstract
A general formula for current noise in a two-terminal ballistic nondegenerate conductor under the action of long-range Coulomb correlations has been derived. The noise reduction factor (in respect to the uncorrelated value) is obtained for biases ranging from thermal to shot noise limits, and it is related to spatial variations in transport characteristics. The contributions of different energy groups of carriers to the noise are found, that leads us to suggest an electron energy spectroscopy experiment to probe the Coulomb correlations in ballistic conductors.
