Description

We present new results from our simulations of the SU(3) "sextet model" with two flavors in the 2-index symmetric representation of the gauge group. The simulations use unimproved Wilson fermions and we measure the meson and baryon spectrum of the theory for multiple bare quark masses at two different lattice spacings. To address the ongoing issue of whether the model is inside or outside the conformal window, we compare the spectrum to the expectations for a theory with spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking and to those of an IR conformal theory.
