Abstract
Amplitude of the Coulomb blockade oscillations is calculated for a single-mode Josephson junction with arbitrary electron transparency . It is shown that the Coulomb blockade is suppressed in ballistic junctions with . The suppression is described quantitatively as the Landau-Zener transition in imaginary time.
