We show that a model of interacting electrons in one dimension is able to explain the order of magnitude as well as the temperature dependence of the critical supercurrents recently measured in nanotube samples placed between superconducting contacts. We use bosonization methods to compute superconducting correlations in the presence of the long-range Coulomb interaction, ending up with a picture in which the critical current does not follow the temperature dependence of the gap in the contacts, in contrast to the prediction of the conventional proximity effect. Our results also reveal the presence of a short-range attractive interaction in the nanotubes, which accounts for a significant enhancement of the critical supercurrents.
