We evaluate the full current statistics (FCS) in the low dimensional (1D and 2D) diffusive conductors in the incoherent regime, $eV\gg E_{\rm Th}=D/L^2$, $E_{\rm Th}$ being the Thouless energy. It is shown that Coulomb interaction…

This is a review of shot noise, the time-dependent fluctuations in the electrical current due to the discreteness of the electron charge, in small conductors. The shot-noise power can be smaller than that of a Poisson process as a result of…
