GSI is one of the world leading facilities for hadron physics experiments at particle accelerators. For many years, the Institute is strongly involved in the development and operation of cryogenic targets for internal beam experiments, i.e. for experiments at HESR/FAIR. For these activities several laboratories and a powerful infrastructure including technical support are available. In detail a cluster-jet target equipped with diagnostic tools is available for tests with cluster-jet beams from heavier gases.

GSI has specific roles in NA7-Hf-QGP, JRA7-HaSP, JRA9-TIIMM, JRA11-CRYOJET and JRA14- MPGD_HP.

GSI has the responsibility of TA5-GSI (Yvonne Leifels).

EC funds in TA5-GSI, NA7-Hf-QGP, JRA7-HaSP, JRA9-TIIMM, JRA11-CRYOJET and JRA14- MPGD_HP.
