  A magnetic helix realizes a one-dimensional magnetic crystal with a period
given by the pitch length $\lambda_h$. Its spin-wave excitations -- the
helimagnons -- experience Bragg scattering off this periodicity leading to gaps
in the spectrum that inhibit their propagation along the pitch direction. Using
high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering the resulting band structure of
helimagnons was resolved by preparing a single crystal of MnSi in a single
magnetic-helix domain. At least five helimagnon bands could be identified that
cover the crossover from flat bands at low energies with helimagnons basically
localized along the pitch direction to dispersing bands at higher energies. In
the low-energy limit, we find the helimagnon spectrum to be determined by a
universal, parameter-free theory. Taking into account corrections to this
low-energy theory, quantitative agreement is obtained in the entire energy
range studied with the help of a single fitting parameter.
