Elementary magnons and interacting multi-magnon quasiparticles in the effective spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ kagome-staircase magnet Co$_{3}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$

The excitation spectrum of an anisotropic magnet provides a direct link between its microscopic Hamiltonian and interaction-driven quasiparticles. Here we use high-resolution time-domain terahertz spectroscopy to map the magnetic excitations of the three-dimensional kagome-staircase compound Co$_{3}$V$_{2}$O$_{8}$ as f...
