The magnetic interference pattern in mesoscopic SNS Josephson junctions is
sensitive to the scattering in the normal part of the system. In this paper we
investigate it, generalizing Ishii's formula for current-phase dependence to
the case of normal scattering at NS boundaries in an SNS junction of finite
width. The resulting flattening of the first diffraction peak is consistent
with experimental data for S-2DEG-S mesoscopic junctions.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures. Phys. Rev. B 68, 144514 (2003
