Infinite dipolar droplet -- a simple theory for the macro-droplet regime

In this paper we develop a theory for an infinitely long droplet state of a zero temperature dipolar bosonic gas. The infinite droplet theory yields simpler equations to solve for the droplet state and its collective excitations. We explore the behavior of infinite droplets using numerical and variational solutions, and demonstrate that it can provide a quantitative description of large finite droplets of the type produced in experiments. We also consider the axial speed of sound and the thermodynamic limit of a dipolar droplet.
