Inelastic neutron scattering measurements are reported for a powder sample of the spin-1/2 quantum paramagnet Cu(quinoxaline)Br-2. Magnetic neutron scattering is identified above an energy gap of 1.9 meV. Analysis of the sharp spectral maximum at the onset indicates that the material is magnetically quasi-one-dimensional. Consideration of the wave vector dependence of the scattering and polymeric structure further identifies the material as a two-legged spin-1/2 ladder. Detailed comparisons of the data to various models of magnetism in this material based on the single-mode approximation and the continuous unitary transformation are presented. The latter theory provides an excellent account of the data with leg exchange J(parallel to)=2.0 meV and rung exchange J(perpendicular to)=3.3 meV.
