Cascade approach to current fluctuations in a chaotic cavity
Abstract
We propose a simple semiclassical method for calculating higher-order cumulants of current in multichannel mesoscopic conductors. To demonstrate its efficiency, we calculate the third and fourth cumulants of current for a chaotic cavity with multichannel leads of arbitrary transparency and compare the results with ensemble-averaged quantum-mechanical quantities. We also explain the discrepancy between the quantum-mechanical results and previous semiclassical calculations.
