Physics:Wess–Zumino gauge

From HandWiki
Short description: Type of gauge fixing used in supersymmetry


In particle physics, the Wess–Zumino gauge is a particular choice of a gauge transformation in a gauge theory with supersymmetry.[1][2] In this gauge, the supersymmetrized gauge transformation is chosen in such a way that most components of the vector superfield vanish, except for the usual physical ones when the function of the superspace is expanded in terms of components.[3]
