The probability per K capture for double K-shell ionization in the electron capture decay branches of /sup 65/Zn has been studied by recording coincidences between Cu K x rays and Cu K..cap alpha.. x rays produced when the two K shell vacancies are filled. A combined probability for the two decay branches was found to be (2.2 +- 0.2) x 10/sup -4/, a value which is approximately a factor of 1.5 greater than recent theoretical predictions by Suzuki and Law. The energy shift of the hypersatellite Cu K..cap alpha../sup H/ x ray was found to be (321 +- 17) eV.
