Neutron inelastic scattering has been used to probe the spin dynamics of the quantum (S = 1/2) ferromagnet on the pyrochlore lattice Lu2V2O7. Well-defined spin waves are observed at all energies and wave vectors, allowing us to determine the parameters of the Hamiltonian of the system. The data are found to be in excellent overall agreement with a minimal model that includes a nearest-neighbor Heisenberg exchange J = 8.22(2) meV and a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) D = 1.5(1) meV. The large DMI term revealed by our study is broadly consistent with the model originally used to explain the magnon Hall effect in this compound [Onose et al., Science 329, 297 (2010) and Ideue et al., Phys. Rev. B 85, 134411 (2012)]. However, our ratio of D / J = 0.18(1) is roughly half of their value, and is much larger than those found in other theoretical studies [Xiang et al., Phys. Rev. B 83, 174402 (2011) and Mook et al., Phys. Rev. B 89,134409 (2014)].
