\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 $<\delta i^2(t)>$ \textit{in a current of uncorrelated (randomly emitted) electrons} of average magnitude $i_{dc}$ (produced, in this case, by a photo-diode illuminated by a light bulb)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}} (2 e) \left(i_{\textrm{dc}}  \Delta f . \right).  \end{equation}  where $\Delta f$ is the ENBW, as before, and would explain that you could determine $e$ from measurements of $<\delta i^2(t)>$ and $i_{dc}$.
