The \theta-twistor versus the supertwistor

Abstract: We introduce the

h e t a

-twistor which is a new supersymmetric generalization of the Penrose twistor and is also alternative to the supertwistor. The

h e t a

-twistor is a triple of {it spinors} including the spinor

h e t a

extending the Penrose's double of spinors. Using the

h e t a

-twistors yields an infinite chain of massless higher spin chiral supermultiplets

(1 / 2, 1), (1, 3 / 2), (3 / 2, 2), ..., (S, S + 1 / 2)

generalizing the known scalar

(0, 1 / 2)

supermultiplet
