We present a new gas-jet experiment intended to study optical transitions of the heaviest elements at the Separator for Heavy Ion reaction Products (SHIP) at GSI, Darmstadt. The novel aspect of the gas-jet experiment is the extraction of previously stopped and neutralized heavy ions in a well-defined, low-temperature, homogeneous, hypersonic gas-jet. Laser resonance ionization spectroscopy is performed in the gas jet, yielding high spectral resolution due to reduced Doppler broadening. Considering the limited production rate of heavy ions at on-line facilities, such as GSI, a high total efficiency is a crucial requirement for the gas-jet experiment. The overall efficiency can be factorized into different contributions, like the injection of heavy ions into the setup, the ion transport efficiency, the re-evaporation efficiency, the efficiency of resonance ionisation and the detector efficiency. Additionally, for radioactive elements the losses due to decay have to be taken into account. Efficiency measurements are performed with both stable and radioactive samples. The results of the efficiency measurements will be presented.
