Detection of finite-frequency current moments with a dissipative resonant circuit

We consider the measurement of higher current moments with a dissipative resonant circuit, which is coupled inductively to a mesoscopic device in the coherent regime. Information about the higher current moments is coded in the histograms of the charge on the capacitor plates of the resonant circuit. The role of dissipation is shown to be essential for the measured noise to remain finite. We also identify which combination of current correlators enters the measurement of the third moment. The results are illustrated for a quantum point contact.
