Supersymmetry in the Half-Oscillator - Revisited

Following a recent study by Das and Pernice [Nucl. Phys. B561, (1999) 357], we have carefully analyzed the half-harmonic oscillator. In contrast to their observations, our analysis reveals that the spectrum does not allow for a zero energy ground state and hence the supersymmetry is broken when the domain is restricted to the positive half of the real axis.
