The properties of the low lying states of {sup 15}F were studied by measuring the resonant elastic scattering of an {sup 14}O radioactive beam on protons. This experiment was performed at GANIL with a post-accelerated beam produced by the SPIRAL1 facility. We confirm the existence of a second excited state in {sup 15}F with a narrow width, which may seem particularly surprising for a state located above the Coulomb barrier.
