- Comment: Please look at the pages for other academics and rewrite:* Use the proper style for references* Provide information on his awards (critical)* All claims must have sources (not links) to verify* Remove material that is narrative --that he read detective novels is not relevant here* Change the "notable papers" to five Selected papers* Get help at the TeahouseThe current version will continue to be rejected if you don't make it more standard. You have to prove his notability. Ldm1954 (talk) 00:36, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
John Maxwell Bailey (1935–2024) was a Particle Physicist and pioneering expert in Muon storage rings. He was the eldest child of Victor Albert Bailey, Professor of Physics at the University of Sydney and Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science; and Joyce Hewitt, a professional concert pianist from New Zealand.
During WWII due to VA Bailey's work on radio transmissions the family moved to the countryside. After they returned, John joined the Sydney Boys High School. He became an accomplished Chess player, winning NSW Junior Chess Champion.
John obtained a degree in Mathematics at the University of Sydney (1953-56) and did National Service in the Australian Navy. He won a Rhodes Scholarship to study Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford (1957–1960). Arriving at The Queen's College, Oxford (his father's alma mater), John was elected Captain of the Oxford University Chess Team. He also met his future wife Elizabeth Rippon, a fellow student from Sheffield.
Graduating with a DPhil, John was awarded a postdoctoral research position at Yale University (1960-4) before being recruited to join the team at CERN (1964-72). The Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire had started operations only ten years earlier to re-establish a collaborative centre of scientific excellence after WWII. Archive video 'In the heart of CERN 1967[1]' showcases their work of this time. John developed his expertise in sub-atomic particles, becoming a leading expert in Muon storage rings.
High energy physics at CERN involved working with colleagues from around the world and John was a skilled linguist. His subsequent work took him to other leading edge particle accelerators including Daresbury, Brookhaven, DESY, NIKHEF and TRIUMF. During this international career John became fluent in French, German and Dutch, also conversant in Italian, Turkish and Russian.
During the 1980s John lectured at the University of Liverpool and contributed to experiments at Rutherford Laboratory. He founded Chester Technology and used his computing expertise to install speaking software on home computers for the blind. John and Elizabeth had five daughters, two of whom followed their father and grandfather to The Queen's College, Oxford. The first, Jane F. Bailey, matriculated in 1979 amongst the first fifteen female undergraduates at the college.
John Bailey was involved in the planning, design and operation of high energy particle physics experimental facilities during his time at CERN. He worked on the Muon (g-2) series on the original (g-2) experimental team led by Francis Farley alongside Emilio Picasso. In the Acknowledgements of their summary review 'The Muon (g-2) experiments at CERN' (1979), Farley and Picasso single his contribution out for particular special mention.
As a leading expert in muon storage rings, John Bailey was first author of the Final Report on the CERN Muon Storage ring (References 68, Citations 403)
