Abstract: We compute analytically the distributions of concurrence $$ and squared norm $$ for the production of electronic entanglement in a chaotic quantum dot. The dot is connected to the external world via one ideal and one partially transparent lead, characterized by the opacity $gamma$. The average concurrence increases with $gamma$ while the average squared norm of the entangled state decreases, making it less likely to be detected. When a minimal detectable norm $$ is required, the average concurrence is maximal for an optimal value of the opacity $$ which is explicitly computed as a function of $$. If $$ is larger than the critical value $$, the average entanglement production is maximal for the completely ideal case, a direct consequence of an interesting bifurcation effect.
