Abstract

We construct a Fermi liquid theory to describe transport in a superconductor-quantum dot- normal metal junction close to the singlet-doublet (parity changing) transition of the dot. Though quasiparticles do not have a definite charge in this chargeless Fermi liquid, in case of particle-hole symmetry, a mapping to the Anderson model unveils a hidden U(1) symmetry and a corresponding pseudo-charge. In contrast to other correlated Fermi-liquids, the back scattering noise reveals an effective charge equal to the charge of Cooper pairs, e=2ee^* = 2e. In addition,we find a strong suppression of noise when the linear conductance is unitary, even for its non-linear part.
