Superspace Action for the First Massive States of the Superstring

Abstract

Using the manifestly spacetime-supersymmetric version of open superstring field theory, we construct the free action for the first massive states of the open superstring compactified to four dimensions. This action is in N=1 D=4 superspace and describes a massive spin-2 multiplet coupled to two massive scalar multiplets.
