Abstract

We give an explicit superspace construction of higher spin conserved supercurrents built out of 4D,N=14D,\mathcal{N}=1 massless supermultiplets of arbitrary spin. These supercurrents are gauge invariant and generate a large class of cubic interactions between a massless supermultiplet with superspin Y1=s1+1/2Y_1=s_1+1/2 and two massless supermultiplets of arbitrary superspin Y2Y_2. These interactions are possible only for s12Y2s_1\geq 2Y_2. At the equality, the supercurrent acquires its simplest form and defines the supersymmetric, higher spin extension of the linearized Bel-Robinson tensor.
