Superspace formulation of massive half-integer superspin

Abstract: An explicit form for the lagrangian of an arbitrary half-integer superspin extsfY=s+1/2 supermultiplet is obtained in 4mD,mathcalN=1 superspace. This is accomplished by the introduction of a tower of pairs of auxiliary superfields of increasing rank which are required to vanish on-shell for free theories. In the massless limit almost all auxiliary superfields decouple except one, which plays the role of compensator as required by the emergent gauge redundancy of the Lagrangian description of the massless theory. The number of off-shell degrees of freedom carried by the theory is frac83(s+1)(4s2+11s+3).
