  1. GIANT RESONANCES, NEUTRON SKIN • Krasznahorkay, M. Csatlós, J. Gulyás, M. Hunyadi, Z. Máté, • B.M. Nyakó, D. Sohler, L. Zolnai • for the ATOMKI, KVI, RCNP, INFN collaboration Nothing tends so much to the advancement of knowledge as the application of a new instrument. -- Sir Humphrey Davy

  2. History of the collaboration • Postdoctoral position at KVI (AK, 1989,1990) • GR studies with magnetic spectrographs • A split-pole magnetic spectrograph as a present • NWO + OTKA support • Study of HD states in Debrecen, + collaboration also with LMU • Postdoc position at KVI (MH, 2000,2001) • NWO-OTKA (1994-2002, 49 publications) • 2002-2007 + 30 common publications.
