Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the oxygen K-edge has recently accessed multi-spinon excitations in the one-dimensional antiferromagnet (1D-AFM) Sr2CuO3, where four-spinon excitations are resolved separately from the two-spinon continuum. This technique, therefore, provides new opportunities to study fractionalized quasiparticle excitations in doped 1D-AFMs. To this end, we carried out exact diagonalization studies of the doped t-J model and provided predictions for oxygen K-edge RIXS experiments on doped 1D-AFMs. We show that the RIXS spectra are rich, containing distinct two- and four-spinon excitations, dispersive antiholon excitations, and combinations thereof. Our results highlight how RIXS complements inelastic neutron scattering experiments by accessing additional charge and spin components of fractionalized quasiparticles.
