We study N=1 supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories with an antisymmetric tensorand F flavors using the recent proposal of a-maximization by Intriligator andWecht. This theory had previously been studied using the method of"deconfinement", but such an analysis was not conclusive since anomalousdimensions in the non-perturbative regime could not be calculated. Usinga-maximization we show that for a large range of F the theory is at aninteracting superconformal fixed point. However, we also find evidence that fora range of F the theory in the IR splits into a free "magnetic" gauge sectorand an interacting superconformal sector.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figure
