Abstract: | When a quantum-chaotic normal conductor is coupled to a superconductor, the random-matrix theory (RMT) predicts that a gap opens up in the excitation spectrum which is of universal size E(g)(RMT) approximately 0.3 Planck/t(D), where t(D) is the mean scattering time between Andreev reflections. We show that a scarred state of long lifetime t(S)>t(D) suppresses the excitation gap over a window DeltaE approximately 2E(g)(RMT) which can be much larger than the narrow resonance width GammaS= Planck/t(S) of the scar in the normal system. The minimal value of the excitation gap within this window is given by GammaS/2
