A spectral sequence for string cohomology

Let X be a 1-connected space with free-loop space ΛX. We introduce two spectral sequences converging towards H^*(ΛX;Z/p) and H^*((ΛX)_hT;Z/p). The E₂-terms are certain non-Abelian-derived functors applied to H^*(X;Z/p). When H^*(X;Z/p) is a polynomial algebra, the spectral sequences collapse for more or less trivial reasons. If X is a sphere it is a surprising fact that the spectral sequences collapse for p=2.
