Six dimensional superconformal field theories have various interesting properties. A number of them arises at the infinite coupling point of gauge theories where the instantonic strings become tensionless. The spectrum of such a superconformal theory may therefore contain the states that arise from the tensionless strings. In this talk, we present a method to quantify these states. This technique relies on the analysis of Coulomb branches of three dimensional N=4 gauge theories.
