We provide a semiquantitative explanation of a recent experiment on the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) in insulating cuprate La2CuO4 (Y.J. Kim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 177003 (2002).). We show theoretically that there are three characteristic peaks in RIXS spectra, two of which are attributed to the charge …
