title: Decoherence-driven cooling of a degenerate spinor Bose gas.
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 as the effect of temperature on decoherence rates.
