Peduncin, A New Indole Alkaloid from Pueraria peduncualris

Pueraria peduncularis (Grah. ex Benth.) Benth. is a plant of Leguminosae which grows in the southwest of China. Different from other plants of Pueraria, it could not be used as a medicine due to its toxicity1. In order to use the Pueraria plants safer, we studied the constituents of P. peduncularis. Previous phytochemical studies of an n-BuOH extract afforded three triterpenoid saponins2-3. The continuing investigation on CHCl3 extract led to the isolation of a new indole alkaloid. …     

Preliminary study of residual orbit oscillation in BEPCⅡ

BEPCII has two rings each with an injection system. The injection system of each ring consists of two kicker magnets and a septum magnet. The injection layout of two rings is the same. Both two kickers would kick the beam in horizontal plane. The betatron phase advance in the horizontal plane between two kickers is designed exactly 180° in order to reduce the perturbation to the circulating beams during injection. In fact, the residual orbit oscillation will originate because of the existence of a variety of errors. The Librea Electron BPM processor is used to acquire the beam position data in turn-by-turn mode and to analyze the residual orbit oscillation. According to the measurement results, minimization of the residual orbit oscillation can be done by adjusting the peak field strength and trigger timing delay of two kickers. With very small residual orbit oscillation the two beams can keep collision condition during the injection.
