Abstract
The helium jet system was designed to transfer different mass fission fragments with nearly equal efficiency. Relative efficiency measuremen ts made with an X-ray detector comparing helium-jet transferred activi ty to ''rabbit''-shuttle transferred activity verify that the transfer efficiency is essentially a constant except for isotopes of noble gas es (krypton and xenon) which do not ''stick'' to the catcher at the ex it of the He-jet.
