Abstract
We study the charge transport statistics in coherent two-terminal double junctions within the framework of the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. We obtain the general solution of the circuit-theory matrix equations for the Green's function of a chaotic cavity between arbitrary contacts. As an example we discuss the full counting statistics and the first three cumulants for an open asymmetric cavity between a superconductor and a normal-metal lead at temperatures and voltages below the superconducting gap. The third cumulant shows a characteristic sign change as a function of the asymmetry of the two quantum point contacts, which is related to the properties of the Andreev reflection eigenvalue distribution.
