The probability for K-shell ionization in the positron decay of /sup 65/Zn, P/sub K/(..beta../sup +/) has been studied by recording coincidences between the annihilation radiation produced subsequent to the positron decay and the Cu K x rays produced when the K-shell vacancy is filled. This probability was found to be (16.1 +- 3.0) x 10/sup -4/, which is approximately three times larger than recent theoretical predictions of Law and Suzuki.
