Paul Howard Frampton (born 31 October 1943) is a particle phenomenologist. From 1996 until 2014, he was the Louis D. Rubin, Jr. Distinguished Professor of physics and astronomy, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Born in Kidderminster, England, he attended King Charles I School, 1954–62, then Brasenose College, Oxford, 1962–68. He received BA (Double First) in 1965, MA, DPhil in 1968, and DSc in 1984, degrees all from Oxford. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1990) and the American Physical Society (1981). In 1987 he was the project director for siting the Superconducting Supercollider, in North Carolina. A Festschrift for his 60th birthday has been published. In November 2012, Frampton was convicted of drug smuggling in Argentina and sentenced to 4 years, 8 months, with the possibility of deportation to the United States after half of his sentence has been served. Frampton was placed on personal leave by his university while he awaited trial. He was informed in 2013 that the university intended to fire him, which prompted him to request a hearing by the Faculty Hearings Committee. On April 25, 2014, the committee recommended that he be fired, and in May Chancellor Carol Folt announced that she had approved their recommendation.〔 In June 2015, a court ordered the university to restore Frampton's back salary. 〔 ==Research== His DPhil thesis analyzed the relationship between current algebra and superconvergence sum rules, and contained a 1967 sum rule. In 1970, he analyzed the absence of ghosts in the dual resonance model. Three examples of his model building are the chiral color model, in 1987, which predicts axigluons; the 331 model, in 1992, which can explain the number of quark-lepton generations, and predicts bileptons; his proposal, in 1995, of the binary tetrahedral group as a flavor symmetry. All three serve as targets of opportunity for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In 2002, he built a model relating matter–antimatter asymmetry in the early universe to measurements possible on Earth. In 2015, he showed that the 331-model predicts long-lived quarks accessible to Run 2 of the LHC. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Frampton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
