Abstract
In this work, the role of inelastic processes in the formation of a transient Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) is investigated based on kinetic theory. We calculate the condensation rate for an overpopulated gluon system which is assumed to be in thermal equilibrium and with the presence of a BEC. The matrix elements of the inelastic processes are chosen as the isotropic one and the gluons are considered to have a finite mass. Our calculations indicate that the inelastic processes can hinder the formation of a BEC since the negatively infinite net condensation rate can destroy any BEC instantly.
