We study current and shot noise up to second-order perturbation theory in the coupling of a mesoscopic object (e.g. quantum dot or molecule) to metallic electrodes. In particular, we discuss the influence of co-tunneling processes for the Anderson-impurity model with finite spin splitting. We show that spin-flip co-tunneling leads to a super-Poissonian Fano factor at a different energy scale than expected from first-order calculations. Furthermore, we find the Fano factor in the Coulomb-blockade regime to be very sensitive to the tunnel-coupling strength, which may serve as a spectroscopic tool for the latter.
