Yes, this site provides a calculator for simple cylindrical shields.
A 1mm mu-metal 15cm diameter would shield 20 Gs. Photonis claims
that their shilds work up to 50Gs. 
In the foreseen PMT location of the gas Cherenkov detector the field is 
about 150 Gs. It is obvious that a multilayer soft iron/mu-metal shield
is needed. One should be careful with calculations, since there
is a strong field gradient in this area.
