Abstract
We develop a -symmetry calculus for the d=2 and d=3, N=2 massive superparticles, which enables us to construct higher order -invariant actions. The method relies on a reformulation of these models as supersymmetric sigma models that are invariant under local worldline superconformal transformations. We show that the -symmetry is embedded in the superconformal symmetry so that a calculus for the -symmetry is equivalent to a tensor calculus for the latter. We develop such a calculus without the introduction of a worldline supergravity multiplet.
