Abstract = {{One of the most intensely studied scenarios of high-temperature
   superconductivity (HTS) postulates pairing by exchange of magnetic
   excitations(1). Indeed, such excitations have been observed up to
   optimal doping in the cuprates(2-7). In the heavily overdoped regime,
   neutron scattering measurements indicate that magnetic excitations have
   effectively disappeared(8-10), and this has been argued to cause the
   demise of HTS with overdoping(1,8,10). Here we use resonant inelastic
   X-ray scattering, which is sensitive to complementary parts of
   reciprocal space, to measure the evolution of the magnetic excitations
   in La2-xSrxCuO4 across the entire phase diagram, from a strongly
   correlated insulator (x = 0) to a non-superconducting metal (x = 0.40).
   For x = 0, well-defined magnon excitations are observed(11). These
   magnons broaden with doping, but they persist with a similar dispersion
   and comparable intensity all the way to the non-superconducting, heavily
   overdoped metallic phase. The destruction of HTS with overdoping is
   therefore caused neither by the general disappearance nor by the overall
   softening of magnetic excitations. Other factors, such as the
   redistribution of spectral weight, must be considered.}},
