The neutron scattering cross section below the Neel temperature in RbMnF<sub>3</sub> has been studied with the aid of neutron spin polarisation analysis. In addition to the spin-wave scattering, a small central component was observed and found to be longitudinal in character. This longitudinal scattering is quasi-elastic, with an intensity that decreases with increasing wavevector and with decreasing temperature below T<sub>N</sub>.
