Abstract
We investigate out-of-the equilibrium properties of the electron liquid in a two-dimensional disordered superconductor subject to the electric bias and temperature gradient. We calculate kinetic coefficients and Nyquist noise, and find that they are characterized by distinct effective temperatures: , characterizing single-particle excitations, , describing the Cooper pairs, and , corresponding to electron-hole or dipole excitations. Varying the ratio between the electric and thermal currents and boundary conditions one can heat different kinds of excitations tuning their corresponding temperatures. We propose the experiment to determine these effective temperatures.
