Chiral multiplet (source code)

= Chiral multiplet
{title2=$(\phi,\psi_\alpha,F)$}

A four-dimensional N=1 <chiral multiplet> consists off shell of a <complex scalar> $\phi$, a Weyl <fermion> $\psi_\alpha$, and a complex auxiliary scalar $F$. A <chiral superfield> packages their <supersymmetry> transformations. Eliminating the auxiliary scalar leaves two bosonic and two fermionic physical polarizations; an allowed supersymmetric mass gives equal scalar and <fermion> masses.
