Decoherence-driven Cooling of a Degenerate Spinor Bose Gas

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We investigate the relationship between the coherence of a partially Bose-condensed spinor gas and its temperature. We observe cooling of the normal component driven by decoherence as well the effect of temperature on decoherence rates.
