Abstract
We investigate the current noise correlations at a quantum point contact in a quantum spin Hall structure, focusing on the effect of a weak magnetic field in the presence of disorder. For the case of two equally biased terminals we discover a robust peak: the noise correlations vanish at and are negative for . We find that the character of this peak is intimately related to the interplay between time reversal symmetry and the helical nature of the edge states and call it the peak.
