Abstract: In this paper, we describe a new infinite family of $frac{q}^2-12$-tight sets in the hyperbolic quadrics $mathcal{Q}^{+}(5,q)$, for $$. Under the Klein correspondence, these correspond to Cameron--Liebler line classes of $mPG(3,q)$ having parameter $frac{q}^2-12$. This is the second known infinite family of nontrivial Cameron--Liebler line classes, the first family having been described by Bruen and Drudge with parameter $frac{q}^2+12$ in $mPG(3,q)$ for all odd $q$. The study of Cameron--Liebler line classes is closely related to the study of symmetric tactical decompositions of $mPG(3,q)$ (those having the same number of point classes as line classes). We show that our new examples occur as line classes in such a tactical decomposition when $$ (so $q=3^{2e}$ for some positive integer $e$), providing an infinite family of counterexamples to a conjecture made by Cameron and Liebler in 1982; the nature of these decompositions allows us to also prove the existence of a set of type $left(frac12(3^{2e}-3^e),frac12(3^{2e}+3^e)ight)$ in the affine plane $mAG(2,3^{2e})$ for all positive integers $e$. This proves a conjecture made by Rodgers in his PhD thesis.
