Abstract
This paper is devoted to study of the classical-to-quantum crossover of the shot noise in chaotic systems. This crossover is determined by the ratio of the particle dwell time in the system, , to the characteristic time for diffraction , where is the Lyapunov exponent. The shot noise vanishes when , while it reaches a universal value in the opposite limit. Thus, the Lyapunov exponent of chaotic mesoscopic systems may be found by shot noise measurements.
