Abstract

Now that we have introduced a large class of superfields in the last chapter, we are ready to construct SUSY field theories. We all want to see how the very first gauge theory, that is of Maxwell’s, is modified in a SUSY setting. After investigating the SUSY Maxwell-Field Theory, we also consider the SUSY Yang and Mills-Field Theory, as well as a very first SUSY theory studied involving spin 0-spin1/2 particles, referred to as a Wess–Zumino Theory [4].
