Abstract
We describe in detail the derivation of a superconformal off-shell formulation of the alternative \( \mathcal{N}=2 \), d = 5 ungauged supergravity of Nishino and Rajpoot, coupled to n Abelian vector multiplets, using a general dilaton-Weyl multiplet. We generalize the vector multiplet coupling available in the literature and show under which assumptions that the scalar manifold reduces to the known case of SO(1, 1) × SO(1, n)/SO(n). As an application of the formalism we propose generalized vector multiplet coupled higher curvature terms, whose construction we sketch briefly.
