Description

We examine mass splittings in a linear sigma model which is an effective theory for a SU(3) gauge theory with $N_1$ flavors of mass $m_1$ and $N_2$ flavors of mass $m_2$. We discuss the consequences for current simulations done by various collaborations. We explain the relevance for BSM model building.
