We investigate the problem of inelastic x-ray scattering in the spin$-{1/2}$Heisenberg model on the square lattice. We first derive a momentum dependentscattering operator for the $A_{1g}$ and $B_{1g}$ polarization geometries. Onthe basis of a spin-wave analysis, including magnon-magnon interactions andexact-diagonalizations, we determine the qualitative shape of the spectra. Weargue that our results may be relevant to help interpret inelastic x-rayscattering experiments in the antiferromagnetic phase of the cuprates.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in PR
