Dj. Goldie et al., STATISTICAL NOISE DUE TO TUNNELING IN SUPERCONDUCTING TUNNEL JUNCTIONDETECTORS, Applied physics letters, 64(23), 1994, pp. 3169-3171
We discuss the statistical noise associated with tunneling which is in
trinsic to superconducting tunnel junctions. We deduce a simple expres
sion for the noise in the general case where the tunneling probabiliti
es may be dissimilar. The statistical tunneling noise exceeds the Fano
-factor limited statistical noise of the quasiparticle creation for mo
st cases.
