Abstract
We develop a detailed analysis of electron transport in normal diffusive conductors in the presence of proximity induced superconducting correlation. We calculated the linear conductance of the system and the profile of the electric field. A rich structure of temperature dependences was found and explained. Our results are consistent with recent experimental findings.
