Abstract

We focus on inelastic neutron scattering in URu2Si2URu_2Si_2 and argue that observed gap in the fermion spectrum naturally leads to the spin feature observed at energies ωres=46meV\omega_{res} = 4-6 meV at momenta at \bQ=(1±0.4,0,0)\bQ^* = (1\pm 0.4, 0,0). We discuss how spin features seen in URu2Si2URu_2Si_2 can indeed be thought of in terms of {\em spin resonance} that develops in HO state and is {\em not related} to superconducting transition at 1.5K. In our analysis we assume that the HO gap is due to a particle-hole condensate that connects nested parts of the Fermi surface with nesting vector Q\bf{Q}^* . Within this approach we can predicted the behavior of the spin susceptibility at \bQ\bQ^* and find it to be is strikingly similar to the phenomenology of resonance peaks in high-Tc_c and heavy fermion superconductors. The energy of the resonance peak scales with THOT_{HO} ωres4kBTHO\omega_{res} \simeq 4 k_BT_{HO}. We discuss observable consequences spin resonance will have on neutron scattering and local density of states.
