  In this paper we present an experiment where we measured the quantum
coherence of a quasiparticle injected at a well-defined energy above the Fermi
sea into the edge states of the integer quantum Hall regime. Electrons are
introduced in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer after passing through a
quantum dot that plays the role of an energy filter. Measurements show that
above a threshold injection energy, the visibility of the quantum interferences
is almost independent of the energy. This is true even for high energies, up to
130~$\mu$eV, well above the thermal energy of the measured sample. This result
is in strong contradiction with our theoretical predictions, which instead
predict a continuous decrease of the interference visibility with increasing
energy. This experiment raises serious questions concerning the understanding
of excitations in the integer quantum Hall regime.
