Rev. Lett. \textbf{89}, 176401 (2002)]. The finite-backscattering beam splitter geometry is supplemented by a phenomenological model for inelastic scattering, the charge-conserving voltage probe model, conveniently generalized to deal with entangled states. We find that the behavior of shot-noise measurements in one of the outgoing leads remains an efficient way to characterize the nature of the non-local spin correlations in the incoming currents for an inelastic scattering probability up to 50%. Higher order cumulants are analyzed, and are found to contain no additional useful information on the spin correlations. The technique we have developed is applicable to a wide range of systems with voltage probes and spin correlations.14 pages, 6 figures, updated with published version (appendix added)Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physicstext
