We investigated the temporal behavior of the new black hole transient XTE J1650-500 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) as the source made a transition to the low/hard state during the decay of the 2001 outburst. We find QPOs in the 4 - 9 Hz range, enhanced time lags and reduced coherence during the state transition. We also observe a shift in the peak frequency of the noise component with energy during the transition. The evolution of the power spectrum as well as the lag and coherence behavior during the state transition are similar to the state transitions observed for other black hole sources, especially Cyg X-1. The temporal properties during the transition to the low state put constraints on the accretion geometry of XTE J1650-500 and may have implications for all black hole binary systems. We suggest a possible geometry and evolution of a jet+corona+disk system based on enhanced lags and peak frequency shift during the transition.
