Abstract
We formally define Andreev reflection in the boundary of a planar billiard table and show that the flow is never minimal in a polygonal billiard table with a subset exhibiting Andreev reflection. We discuss the effects of particular perturbations on the electron-hole dynamics in an idealized 2D model of a nanowire lying upon a superconductor.
