摘要：

We Study population dynamics of a trapped spin-l Bose gas above the Bose-Einstein transition temperature. Starting from the semiclassical kinetic equation for a spin-1 gas, we derive coupled rate equations for the Populations of internal states. Solving the rate equations, we discuss the dynamical evolution of spin populations. We also estimate the characteristic timescale in which the system reaches equilibrium. Finally, we briefly discuss how the presence of the condensate will affect the population dynamics.
