  The shot noise in the current through a quantum dot is calculated as a
function of voltage from the high-voltage, Coulomb blockaded regime to the
low-voltage, Kondo regime. Using several complementary approaches, it is shown
that the zero-frequency shot noise (scaled by the voltage) exhibits a
non-monotonic dependence on voltage, with a peak around the Kondo temperature.
Beyond giving a good estimate of the Kondo temperature, it is shown that the
shot noise yields additional information on the effects of electronic
correlations on the local density of states in the Kondo regime, unaccessible
in traditional transport measurements.
