N2 - We have calculated the temperature dependence of the conductance variation [delta S(T)] of mesoscopic superconductor-normal-metal (S/N) structures, in the diffusive regime, analyzing both weak and strong proximity effects. We show that in the case of a weak proximity effect there are two peaks in the dependence of delta S(T) on temperature. One of them (known from previous studies) corresponds to a temperature T-1 of order of the Thouless energy (epsilon(Th)), and another, newly predicted maximum, occurs at a temperature T-2 where the energy gap in the superconductor Delta(T-2) is of order epsilon(Th). In the limit L-phi
