RECENT CHARMONIUM RESULTS AT BES-III
Recent results on Charmonium spectrum and decays at Beijing Spectrometers III (BES-III) experiment will be presented. This report includes the following topics: 1, first measurement of the transition rates of ψ′ → π0hc and hc → γηc, and improved measurement of the mass and width of the hc; 2, observations of χcJ → VV, with VV being ɸɸ, ωω and ωɸ, χcJ → ωɸ as well as χc1 → ɸɸ and ωω are first observations; 3, improved measurement of the branching fractions of χcJ decay into neutral pseudo-scalar pairs, including χc0,2 → π0π0 and χc0,2 →ηη. All these measurements are based on the world largest ψ′ data sample collected with the BES-III detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider II (BEPC-II).

Observation of $J/\psi \rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$ at BESIII
Using $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, we observe for the first time the process $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)$, $a_{0}(980)\rightarrow \pi^{0}\eta$ with a significance of $6.5\sigma$ ($3.2\sigma$ including systematic uncertainties). The product branching fraction of $J/\psi\rightarrow p\bar{p}a_{0}(980)\rightarrow p\bar{p}\pi^{0}\eta$ is measured to be $(6.8\pm1.2\pm1.3)\times 10^{-5}$, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement provides information on the $a_{0}$ production near threshold coupling to $p\bar{p}$ and improves the understanding of the dynamics of $J/\psi$ decays to four body processes.

Observation of the decay $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}+c.c.$
Using a sample of $1.06\times10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first observation of the decays of $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{+}\pi^{-}+c.c.$ and $\psi(3686)$ $\rightarrow$ $\Lambda\bar\Sigma^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.$. The branching fractions are measured to be $\mathcal{B}(\psi(3686) \rightarrow \Lambda\bar\Sigma^{+}\pi^{-} + c.c.)=(1.40\pm 0.03 \pm 0.13)\times10^{-4}$ and $\mathcal{B}(\psi(3686) \rightarrow \Lambda\bar\Sigma^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.)=(1.54\pm 0.04 \pm 0.13)\times10^{-4}$, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.

A MATHEMATICAL REVIEW ON THE MULTIPLE-SOLUTION PROBLEM
The recent multiple-solution problem in extracting physics information from a fit to the experimental data in high energy physics is reviewed from a mathematical viewpoint. All these multiple solutions were previously found via a fit process, while in this paper we prove that if the sum of two coherent Breit–Wigner functions is used to fit the measured distribution, there should be two and only two nontrivial solutions, and they are related to each other by analytical formulae. For real experimental measurements in more complicated situations, we also provide a numerical method to derive the other solution from the already obtained one. The excellent consistency between the exact solution obtained this way and the fit process justifies the method. From our results it is clear that the physics interpretation should be very different depending on which solution is selected. So we suggest that all the experimental measurements with potential multiple solutions be re-analyzed to find the other solution because the result is not complete if only one solution is reported.

Observation of $\eta_{c}$ decay into $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$ final states
Using a data sample of $2.25\times10^{8}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first observation of the decays of $\eta_{c}$ mesons to $\Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$. The branching fractions are measured to be $(2.11\pm0.28_{\rm stat.}\pm0.18_{\rm syst.}\pm0.50_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ and $(0.89\pm0.16_{\rm stat.}\pm0.08_{\rm syst.}\pm0.21_{\rm PDG})\times10^{-3}$ for $\eta_{c} \to \Sigma^{+}\bar{\Sigma}^{-}$ and $\Xi^{-}\bar{\Xi}^{+}$, respectively. These branching fractions provide important information on the helicity selection rule in charmonium-decay processes.

Search for Invisible Decays of eta and eta-prime in the Processes J/psi ---> phi eta and phi eta-prime
Using a data sample of 58x10{sup 6} J/{psi} decays collected with the Beijing Spectrometer II detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider, searches for invisible decays of {eta} and {eta}{sup '} in J/{psi} to {phi}{eta} and {phi}{eta}{sup '} are performed. The {phi} signals, which are reconstructed in K{sup +}K{sup -} final states, are used to tag the {eta} and {eta}{sup '} decays. No signals are found for the invisible decays of either {eta} or {eta}{sup '}, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be 1.65x10{sup -3} for the ratio (B({eta}{yields}invisible)/B({eta}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})) and 6.69x10{sup -2} for (B({eta}{sup '}{yields}invisible)/B({eta}{sup '}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})). These are the first searches for {eta} and {eta}{sup '} decays into invisible final states.

DAQ Architecture Design of Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment consists of seventeen detectors distributed in three underground experimental halls. Each detector has a separate VME readout crate that contains the trigger and electronics modules. The data acquisition (DAQ) system reads data fragments from electronics and trigger modules and concatenates them into an event in each crate. The DAQ monitors the data quality, merges the event streams from each hall, and records these data to disk. The DAQ architecture is designed as a multi-level system based on the BESIII DAQ and ATLAS TDAQ systems using embedded Linux, VME bus system, advanced commercial computers and distributed network technologies. This paper presents the main DAQ design requirements, and the hardware and software architectures.
