contents Using the spectral sequence method, this paper advances some of the construction of the BRS cohomology of the Wess Zumino supersymmetric action. An important missing part was the inclusion of the sources for the variations of the fields. In this paper, these sources are called pseudofields. Since the most interesting part of the result contains unsaturated spinor indices, we include a constant spinor to saturate those indices. At dimension zero, this gives rise to a new set of invariants and a closely related new set of possible supersymmetry anomalies in the theory, and we call this an `exotic pair'. At dimension one, this becomes more complicated, and the theory adds a new ghost charge - 1 term, which we call a change, and we call this an `exotic triplet'. For higher dimension and higher spin, it appears that more complications are likely to occur. These exotic pairs and triplets are constrained by some simple equations which arise from the spectral sequence. The invariants of the exotic pairs are all dependent on the pseudofields, which means that the field parts of these invariants are not supersymmetric, though the invariants are in the cohomology space of supersymmetry. In this paper we examine the BRS cohomology for low spins and low dimensions.

Using the spectral sequence method, this paper advances some of the construction of the BRS cohomology of the Wess Zumino supersymmetric action.
