We report on an experimental study of nonlocal transport in superconductor hybrid structures, where two normal-metal leads are attached to a central superconducting wire. Structures of this kind are of interest, since possibly they could serve as Cooper pair splitters, creating spin entangled electrons. With bias voltages below the gap we find s-shaped nonlocal conductance curves as a function of bias applied on both contacts, as predicted theoretically in the presence of dynamical Coulomb blockade (DCB) [1]. With bias voltages above the gap applied on both normal-metal electrodes we find surprisingly large nonlocal conductance signals, almost of the same magnitude as the local conductance. We show that under these conditions heating has a qualitativly similar effect as DCB on nonlocal conductance, mimicking the effect of Cooper pair splitting [2].
