Abstract

We introduce the θ\theta-twistor which is a new supersymmetric generalization of the Penrose twistor and is also alternative to the supertwistor. The θ\theta-twistor is a triple of {\it spinors} including the spinor θ\theta extending the Penrose's double of spinors. Using the θ\theta-twistors yields an infinite chain of massless higher spin chiral supermultiplets (1/2,1),(1,3/2),(3/2,2),...,(S,S+1/2)({1/2},1), (1, {3/2}), ({3/2},2),...,(S, S+{1/2}) generalizing the known scalar (0,1/2)(0,{1/2}) supermultiplet
