Abstract

We consider cubic interactions of the form sYYs-Y-Y between a massless integer superspin ss supermultiplet and two massless arbitrary integer or half integer superspin YY supermultiplets. We focus on non-minimal interactions generated by gauge invariant supercurrent multiplets which are bilinear in the superfield strength of the superspin YY supermultiplet. We find two types of consistent supercurrents. The first one corresponds to conformal integer superspin ss supermultiplets, exist only for even values of s,s=2+2s, s=2\ell+2, for arbitrary values of YY and it is unique. The second one, corresponds to Poincar\'e integer superspin ss supermultiplets, exist for arbitrary values of ss and YY.
