ABSTRACT=The measurement of β-decay rates in plasma, simulating stellar-like conditions, is of high
4 interest for the investigation of radionuclides involved in nuclear astrophysics processes. In the
5 new PANDORA plasma trap, these β-decay rates will be estimated by detecting the γ-rays emitted
6 by the daughter nuclei trapped in the confined plasma. The present work describes the high
7 efficiency HPGe detectors array that will be placed around the magnetic trap for this purpose, as
8 well the front-end electronics and acquisition system suitable for the array operation in presence
9 of a high counting rate background originating from Bremsstrahlung radiation.
