In the massless case of N=1 simple supersimetry, the states are labeled by the helicity λ and the four-momentum.
In this case we have two states in the supermultiplet plus CPT conjugates: |pμ, ± λ> and |pμ, ± (λ-½)>
Then there is a λ= {0, ½} supermultiplet (where for example a quark with λ=½ has a partner squark of λ=0)
and a λ= {1, ½} supermultiplet (where for example a gluon with λ=1 has a partner gluino of λ=½)
My question is why do we put the matter fields in the λ= {0, ½} supermultiplet? I mean why the squark can not have λ=1 for example?.
