Abstract

We consider statistics of electronic transport in chaotic cavities where time-reversal symmetry is broken and one of the leads is weakly non-ideal, i.e. it contains tunnel barriers characterized by tunneling probabilities Γi\Gamma_i. Using symmetric function expansions and a generalized Selberg integral, we develop a systematic perturbation theory in 1Γi1-\Gamma_i valid for arbitrary number of channels, and obtain explicit formulas up to second order for the average and variance of the conductance, and for the average shot-noise. Higher moments of the conductance are considered to leading order.
