  We present a new analysis of shot noise measurements in normal
metal-superconductor (NS) junctions [X. Jehl et al., Nature 405, 50 (2000)],
based on a recent semiclassical theory. The first calculations at zero
temperature assuming quantum coherence predicted shot noise in NS contacts to
be doubled with respect to normal contacts. The semiclassical approach gives
the first opportunity to compare data and theory quantitatively at finite
voltage and temperature. The doubling of shot noise is predicted up to the
superconducting gap, as already observed, confirming that phase coherence is
not necessary. An excellent agreement is also found above the gap where the
noise follows the normal case.
