Abstract
We construct the general formulation of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 supersymmetric self-dual abelian gauge theory involving auxiliary chiral spinor superfields. Self-duality in this context is just U(N ) invariance of the nonlinear interaction of the auxiliary superfields. Focusing on the U(1) case, we present the most general form of the U(1) invariant auxiliary interaction, consider a few instructive examples and show how to generate self-dual \( \mathcal{N} \) =1 models with higher derivatives in this approach.
