Linear and chiral superfields are usefully inequivalent

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Chiral superfields have been used, and extensively so, almost ever since supersymmetry was discovered. Complex linear superfields afford an alternative representation of matter, but are widely misbelieved to be `physically equivalent' to chiral ones. We prove that the opposite is true. Curiously, this re-enables a previously thwarted interpretation of the low-energy (super)field limit of superstrings.
