In the case of the eRHIC ring-ring design, a 22mrad crossing angle eliminates the need for a separator dipole, which would otherwise be a major source of synchrotron radiation. However, electrons in the transverse tails experience strong magnetic fields in the low-beta quadrupoles near the interaction point. Despite the low electron density in the tails the resulting hard radiation generated in these strong fields is a major concern, and a set of masks needs to be in place to shield the detector from these photons. We present simulation studies and a first design of a synchrotron radiation masking scheme.
