For canonical kinetic terms, vanishing superpotential, and , the D-term scalar potential has its minimum at . Both real scalar modes have squared mass , while the chiral Weyl fermion, photon and gaugino are massless; the gaugino is the goldstino. The scalar-to-fermion squared-mass splitting is . On the other branch , cancels and preserves supersymmetry; the Higgsed vector, remaining real scalar and Dirac fermion have common squared mass . A single nonzero-charge chiral fermion has a gauge anomaly, so a quantum realization requires an anomaly-cancelling completion; these are the stated classical vacuum spectra.
