Base sizes for simple groups and a conjecture of Cameron

Let G be a permutation group on a finite set ?. A base for G is a subset B C_ ? whose pointwise stabilizer in G is trivial; we write b(G) for the smallest size of a base for G. In this paper we prove that b(G) ? if G is an almost simple group of exceptional Lie type and is a primitive faithful G-set...
