We studied by polarised inelastic neutron scattering the spin space anisotropy in Co-underdoped BaFe₂As₂ in the normal as well as in the superconducting state. The spin space anisotropy in the normal state is reminiscent of the magnetic response in the pure antiferromagnetic host compound, and displays broadened spin gaps in all three directions. In particular, the longitudinal spin excitations are largely gapped by ∼ 16 meV, which seems to be sufficient larger than twice the superconducting gap value and thus prohibits any interplay with superconductivity. Consequently, in the superconducting state, we observe an anisotropic spin resonance mode, which peaks at two different energies in the two transversal spin directions respectively. The suppression of longitudinal spin fluctuations can explain the reduced superconducting transition temperature and indicates that the coexistence of antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity occurs locally.
