Abstract
A formally unitary Lagrangian model gauging an internal supersymmetry is proposed. The even subalgebra is gauged as a Yang-Mills theory, while the odd generators are gauged—according to Freedman's method—by skew tensor fields, equivalent dynamically to scalar Higgs fields. Chiral fermions are incorporated by following Townsend's construction and form irreducible supermultiplets graded by their helicity. The application to quantum asthenodynamics is discussed.
Keywords: Lie supergroups, Grassmann algebra, Becchi-Rouet-Stora algebra, weak electromagnetic unification, Kalb-Ramond field
