The MOCCA detector is a 4k-pixel high-resolution molecule camera based on metallic magnetic calorimeters and read out with SQUIDs that is able to detect neutral molecule fragments with keV kinetic energies. It will be deployed at the Cryogenic Storage Ring CSR at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, a storage ring built to prepare and store molecular ions in their rotational and vibrational ground states, enabling studies on electron-ion interactions. To reconstruct the reaction kinematics, MOCCA measures the energy and position of the molecule fragments incidenting on the detector, even with multiple particles hitting the detector simultaneously.
We present an improved read-out scheme which uses a logarithmic decay time spacing. This makes it possible to use only 32 SQUID channels for the read-out of 4094 pixels of the detector. In addition, we compare the simulations of this read-out scheme to previous measurements.
