Abstract
We describe an infinite two-parameter subfamily of theories of class \( \mathcal{S} \) where dialing one of the parameters interpolates between Gaiotto’s T N theory and a theory of N 2 free hypermultiplets. After using the reduced superconformal index to study the operator content, we use these theories to construct new \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 SCFTs and then examine the flows between them.
