High-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering ~RIXS! spectra from CuO in the 1s2p emission region were measured. A surprisingly complicated set of spectra was observed. Detailed analysis of these spectra reveals the existence of an excited state, which is hidden in the Cu-K x-ray absorption spectrum of CuO. Furthermore, the energy of this excited state corresponds well to a Cu 4 pz-like state predicted by a real-space multiple-scattering technique, but has not been observed experimentally up to now. This result demonstrates the potential use of RIXS to complement x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Understanding the electronic structures of strongly correlated transition metal oxides has been one of the longstanding challenges in condensed matter physics. The study of these oxides has attracted renewed interest recently due to the discovery of high-Tc superconductors. Among them, divalent CuO is of particular importance because it shares the same basic building block, CuO4 parallelogram plane, with
