Scientific paper

Charge excitations in a two dimensional electron gas, under a quantizing magnetic field and in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime, flow in one dimensional-like strips along the edges of the sample. These excitations (quasiparticles) may be independent or condense into an interacting chiral Luttinger liquid. Adding a backscattering potential, which reflects a forward propagating quasiparticle to a backward propagating one, partitions the stream of quasiparticles and induces quantum shot noise. The noise is proportional to quasiparticles charge and may be affected by their mutual interactions. The dependence of the determined charge on the temperature, excitation energy, and partitioning will be describes for a few fractional states, revealing in some cases a universal behavior.
