Abstract
We consider two dimensional superconformal Carrollian theories with boundaries and construct two variants of the Boundary Superconformal Carrollian Algebra (BSCCA), viz. the Homogeneous and the Inhomogeneous, by making appropriate identification of the parent superconformal Carrollian algebras. These new algebras are then recovered by appropriate limits of a single copy of Super Virasoro algebra. We then focus on the theory of null tensionless superstrings and construct, for the first time, an open null superstring. The Homogeneous version of the BSCCA is realised as worldsheet symmetries on this open null superstring.
