The Mu3e collaboration is deeply saddened to by the loss of our colleague and friend Professor Ian Shipsey, Head of Department of Physics in Oxford and co-lead of the Oxford Mu3e group.
Ian was instrumental in bringing the UK groups into the collaboration and a strong supporter of the experiment both within the collaboration and in public. Ian’s leadership and support have been crucial in particular for the development of the Mu3e outer pixel system. We will all greatly miss his enormous intellect, enthusiasm, and unlimited positivity.
Our thoughts are with his wife, our colleague, Professor Daniela Bortoletto, their daughter Francesca and wider family, and with the Oxford Mu3e team.
