  A continuum of magnetic states has been observed by neutron scattering from
the spin-1 chain compound CsNiCl3 in its disordered gapped one-dimensional
phase. Results using both triple-axis and time-of-flight spectrometers show
that around the antiferromagnetic point Qc=pi, the continuum lies higher in
energy than the Haldane gapped excitations. At 6K the integrated intensity of
the continuum is about 12(2)% of the total spectral weight. This result is
considerably larger than the 1-3% weight predicted by the non-linear sigma
model for the 3-particle continuum.
