Transport signatures of Majorana bound states in disordered superconducting nanowires — •Jan Dahlhaus, Michael Wimmer, Fabian Hassler, Anton Akhmerov, and Carlo Beenakker — Instituut-Lorentz, Universiteit Leiden, The Netherlands

Superconducting wires without time-reversal and spin-rotation symmetries can be driven into a topological phase that supports Majorana bound states. We show that the phase transition is signaled by a quantized thermal conductance and electrical shot noise power, irrespective of disorder. In a ring geometry, it is signaled by a period doubling of the magnetoconductance oscillations. Furthermore the influence on the Andreev reflection process at the Fermi level is addressed.
