Abstract
In the absence of gauge interactions the spontaneous breakdown of supersymmetry (Susy) is accompanied by a scalar field whose vacuum expectation value is not determined by the tree potential. Inclusion of the gauge interactions can fix this vev at the tree level. The situation is exemplified by a simpleSU(2)-model yielding nonvanishingF-andD-vevs.
