Christopher T. Hill (born: 1951) is a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. He did undergraduate work in physics at M.I.T. (B.S., M.S., 1972), and graduate work at Caltech (Ph.D., 1977, Gell-Mann). He has made many contributions to dynamical theories of electroweak symmetry breaking, and is an originator of quasi-infrared fixed points, topcolor, top quark condensates, top-seesaw models, and dimensional deconstruction. He is also an originator of cosmological models of dark energy and dark matter based upon ultra-low mass (Nambu-Goldstone) bosons associated with neutrinos.
Hill is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and formerly Head of the Theoretical Physics Department at Fermilab. He is also a modern classical composer.
