\textbf{Similarly, the Shot noise part of your aims section would be expected to} reference Schottky's prediction of a fundamental relation between the size of
the fluctuations
$<\delta i^2(t)>$ in
a current
of \textit{uncorrelated (randomly emitted) electrons} and the amount of charge $e$ carried by an individual electron in that current:
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:SchottkyPredictionForShotNoise}
<\delta i^2(t)> = 2 e i_{\textrm{dc}} \Delta f
\end{equation}
where $e$ is the charge carried by an electron, $i_{dc}$ is the average dc current (produced, in this case, by a photo-diode illuminated by a light bulb), and $\Delta f$ is the ENBW, as before.
If you need to review the physics behind this, I STRONGLY suggest re-reading Chapter 1 of the TeachSpin manual on JOhnson Noise and Chapter 3 on Shot noise rather than relying on the unpublished lab report of an undergraduate from another school whose data isn't nearly as good as yours!
