The magnetoroton is the neutral excitation of a gapped fractional quantum Hall state. We argue that at zero momentum the magnetoroton has spin ±2, and show how the spin of the magnetoroton can be determined by polarized Raman scattering. We suggest that polarized Raman scattering may help to determine the nature of the ν=5/2 state. Ref: D.X. Nguyen and D.T. Son, arXiv:2101.02213.
