Abstract: Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) can be made compatible with supersymmetry, and such a theory can be conveniently formulated in “Collinear Superspace”. In this talk I will introduce a new set of effective field theory rules for constructing Lagrangians in collinear superspace. This new formalism represents a general way to derive on-shell superspace Lagrangians directly from the symmetries of the theory. I will also demonstrate how the non-propagating off shell degrees of freedom i.e. F and D terms, can be reintroduced into the theory. This framework paves the way to constructing theories with N > 1 supersymmetry directly from low-energy considerations.
