The /sup 20/Ne(/sup 3/He,/sup 8/Li) reaction has been used to study the particle-unstable nucleus /sup 15/F. The ground state of /sup 15/F is observed as a broad peak at a mass excess of 16.9 +- 0.2 MeV with a width greater than 900 keV. A well defined narrower peak is observed at a mass excess of 18.088 +- 0.025 MeV and with a width of 240 +- 30 keV. It is shown to be the mirror of the 5/2/sup +/ first excited state of /sup 15/C. The analog of the 5/2/sup +/ state was observed in /sup 15/O at E/sub x/ = 12.255 +- 0.013 MeV. This state is shown to proton decay to the T = 1 first excited state of /sup 14/N and to have a width of 135 +- 15 keV.
