Collinear superspace

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: This paper provides a superfield based approach to constructing a collinear slice of $\mathcal{N}=1$ superspace. The strategy is analogous to integrating out anticollinear fermionic degrees-of-freedom as was developed in the context of soft-collinear effective theory. The resulting Lagrangian can be understood as an integral over collinear superspace, where half the supercoordinates have been integrated out. The application to $\mathcal{N}=1$ super Yang-Mills is presented. Collinear superspace provides the foundation for future explorations of supersymmetric soft-collinear effective theory.
