Recent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments have detected a significant high-energy spin-excitation anisotropy in the nematic phase of the enigmatic iron-based superconductor FeSe [1], whose origin remains controversial. We apply an itinerant model previously used to describe the spin-excitation anisotropy as measured by neutron scattering measurements [2], with magnetic fluctuations included within the RPA approximation. The calculated RIXS cross section exhibits overall agreement with the RIXS data [3], including the high energy spin-excitation anisotropy such that the picture of a localized Heisenberg model does not need to be evoked in order to explain the experimental data.
