We report on extensive inelastic neutron scattering on paramagnetic chromiu
m to determine the spin dynamics above T-N = 311 K. The low energy fluctuat
ions are found to be truly incommensurate and can be well described by the
phenomenological Sato-Maki response function. The energy scale of the respo
nse increases roughly linearly with temperature up to at least T = 400 K. (
