The behavior of electron spin randomization of optically pumped alkali-atoms in the spin temperature limit is treated theoretically in this article. Numerical solutions of the relaxation equation of motion are presented. And a generalized slowing down factor as a funtion of the polarization and nuclear spin is analysed in detail.
