Abstract
The branching ratios in the65Zn decay have been reinvestigated using several precision methods. The ratios of the γ-emission rate to the total decay rate and of the β+-emission rate to the total decay rate have been determined to be 0.5075±0.0010 and 0.0146±0.0002, respectively. A value of (244.0±0.2) d has been found for the half-life. All cited errors are estimated to correspond to a confidence level of 68%.
