A pellet target will be utilized at the ANKE spectrometer to reach highest luminosities with a hydrogen pellet jet crossing the stored, circulating COSY beam. One of the main experimental tasks is to produce a stable liquid hydrogen jet, which will further be broken into micro-droplets of about 50 µ m diameter by acoustic excitation and finally freeze into pellets. Special care has to be taken about the jet-production boundary conditions. For this purpose jet modifications close to the triple-point (T=14 K, p=100 mbar) were studied, since only there stable jet can be generated. The status of the ANKE pellet target and the results of the hydrogen jet investigations will be presented.
