	The Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. One design uses an electron synchrotron to collide a 60GeV e± beam with the 7TeV proton beam. Designing a new accelerator around the existing LHC machine poses unique challenges, particularly in the interaction region (IR). The electron beam must be quickly separated from the proton beam after the interaction point (IP) to avoid beam-beam effects, while not significantly reducing luminosity or producing large amounts of synchrotron radiation. The proton beam must pass through the electron optics, while the electron beam must avoid the proton optics. The long straight section requires bending in both planes to counteract the IP crossing angle and to displace the beam vertically from the electron machine to the proton IP. An achromatic bending scheme is used in the vertical plane to eliminate dispersion at the IP and provide an optics which is well matched to the LHeC ring lattice. The interaction region and long straight section design is presented and detailed, and the design process and principles discussed.

	The Large Hadron Electron Collider project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. Two electron accelerator designs are being studied; a linac and a synchrotron. In the synchrotron option, a 60GeV electron beam is collided with one of the LHC proton beams to provide high luminosity TeV-scale interactions. The interaction region for this scheme is complex and introduces a series of challenges due to the integration of the two machines. One of these is the optics of the second non-interacting proton beam. The second proton beam must not interfere with the LHeC experiment, but simultaneous running of the remaining LHC experiments requires that this beam must still circulate relatively undisturbed. This paper discusses methods to solve these challenges for the electron synchrotron design.

	The Large Hadron Electron Collider project is a proposal to study e-p and e-A interactions at the LHC. In the design for an electron synchrotron (alternative designs for a linac are also under development), a 60GeV e± beam is collided with a 7TeV LHC proton beam to produce TeV-scale collisions. Despite being much lower energy than the proton beam, the electron beam is high enough energy to produce significant amounts of synchrotron radiation (SR). This places strong constraints on beam optics and bending. In particular challenges arise with the complex geometry required by the long straight section (LSS) and interaction region (IR). This includes the coupled nature of the proton and electron optics, as SR produced by the electron beam must not be allowed to quench the superconducting proton magnets or create problems with beam-gas backgrounds. Despite this, the electron beam must be deflected significantly within the IR to produce sufficient separation from the proton beam.
