Abstract

Off-shell actions for massless higher-spin N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supermultiplets in five dimensions (5D) are constructed in harmonic superspace in terms of unconstrained prepotentials. Cubic couplings of these supermultiplets to the qq-hypermultiplet are derived. We also provide a detailed derivation of the unconstrained prepotential for the 5D Weyl supermultiplet which has been used within the conformal superspace approach to N=1\mathcal{N}=1 supergravity-matter systems.
