Abstract

We use numerical and analytical results to construct a simple ansatz for the energy dynamical correlation function of the 1D antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model. This is applied to compute the phonon assisted absorption spectra of magnetic excitations (spinons) in quasi-one dimensional spin 1/2 insulators and show to reproduce very well recent infrared measurements in Sr2CuO3.
