This document outlines the control software considerations for the D.U.C.K (Detection of Unusual Cosmic casKades). The primary goal of this software is to provide users with the ability to control Flash Analog to Digital Converter functions and conduct DAQ (Data Acquisition) operations as well as set the file format for saving the data. The ROOT software framework was found to be particularly useful for DAQ and serves as the primary tool for storing and analyzing our data. Limitations of the software are being considered, and further development is being conducted.more » « less

Very-high-energy gamma rays (traditionally above ∼100 GeV) are the most energetic cosmic electromagnetic radiation observed and trace the presence of charged particles of even higher energy. These gamma rays can provide unique views of the strong magnetic fields around neutron stars and the strong gravitational fields around neutron stars and black holes. At the other extreme of density, they can probe the environment of cosmic voids. This white paper briefly summarizes what can be learned over the coming decade about extreme astrophysical environments through ground-based gamma-ray observations over the 20 GeV to 300 TeV range. The majority of the material is drawn directly from Science with the Cherenkov Telescope Array, which describes the overall science case for CTA. We request that authors wishing to cite results contained in this white paper cite the original work.more » « less
