Abstract: (Elsevier)
The superfield formulation of a class of SUSY quantum-mechanical systems connected with effective (0 + 1)-dimensional hamiltonians of supersymmetric gauge theories is proposed. These provide us with supersymmetric d = 1 σ -models of a new type: their bosonic target manifolds are 3 m -dimensional ( m is an integer) with the metrics of a special form, and they enjoy N = 2 supersymmetry. They are constructed (in a peculiar way, specific for d =1) from d =2 vector gauge supermultiplets reduced to 0 + 1 dimensions. A reasonable generalization of these models to higher dimensions is absent.
