Substitutional doping of the cubic chiral magnet MnSi results in a suppression of magnetic order and quantum critical behavior that is masked by the influence of disorder. Combining measurements of the ac susceptibility and specific heat with elastic neutron scattering and neutron resonance spin-echo spectroscopy on single-crystal Mn_1−xFe_xSi in zero magnetic field, we show that up to x=0.10 static helimagnetic order emerges through a Brazovskii-type fluctuation-induced first-order phasetransition. For x=0.12, the signatures in the susceptibility are reminiscent of helimagnetic order, while the specific heat indicates the absence of a first-order transition and neutron spectroscopy unambiguously establishes the dynamic character down to temperatures of 50 mK, suggesting a magnetic ground state that is dominated by interacting chiral fluctuations.
