Abstract
A semiclassical Monte Carlo simulation is used to study the suppression of partition noise in a one dimensional mesoscopic conductor. The purely distributed elastic scattering case is considered first and is found to exhibit a one-third suppression relative to full shot noise. A dynamic feedback process based on the Pauli exclusion principle is described to explain the reduction. Further suppression is achieved by increasing inelastic scattering since the redistribution of electron number fluctuations in energy allows the feedback to be more effective.
