Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using the constrained superfields formalism to describe the interactions of a light goldstino to matter fields in supersymmetric models, we identify generalized, higher-order holomorphic superfield constraints that project out the superpartners and capture the non-universal couplings of the goldstino to matter fields. These arise from microscopic theories in which heavy superpartners masses are of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale ( f ) . In the decoupling limit of infinite superpartners masses, these constraints reduce to the familiar, lower-order universal constraints discussed recently, that describe the universal goldstino–matter fields couplings, suppressed by inverse powers of f . We initiate the study of the couplings of the Standard Model (SM) fields to goldstino in the constrained superfields formalism.
