Abstract
We study shot noise in the current of quantum dots whose low-energy behavior corresponds to an SU(N) Kondo model, focusing on the case N=4 relevant to carbon nanotube dots. For general N, two-particle Fermi-liquid interactions have two distinct effects: they can enhance the noise via backscattering processes with an N-dependent effective charge, and can also modify the coherent partition noise already present without interactions. For N=4, in contrast with the SU(2) case, interactions enhance shot noise solely through an enhancement of partition noise. This leads to a nontrivial prediction for experiment.
