The E-802 spectrometer at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, enhanced by a trigger for selection of events with one or more specified particles, has been used to measure the momentum-space correlation between pairs of [ital K][sup +]'s emitted in central Si+Au collisions at 14.6 [ital A] GeV/[ital c]. This correlation has been projected onto the Lorentz-invariant relative four-momentum axis. Fits to this correlation function yield a size for the kaon source that is comparable to that found using [pi][sup +] pairs from a similar rapidity range, once a transformation from the particle-pair frames to a single source frame is made.
