Abstract
We present a theory for the Landau damping of low energy quasi-particles in a collisionless, quasi-2D dipolar Bose gas and produce expressions for the damping rate in uniform and non-uniform systems. Using simple energy-momentum conservation arguments, we show that in the homogeneous system, the nature of the low energy dispersion in a dipolar Bose gas severely inhibits Landau damping of long wave-length excitations. For a gas with contact and dipolar interactions, the damping rate for phonons tends to decrease with increasing dipolar interactions; for strong dipole-dipole interactions, phonons are virtually undamped over a broad range of temperature. The damping rate for maxon-roton excitations is found to be significantly larger than the damping rate for phonons.
