Abstract: (Elsevier)
We give a detailed discussion of the construction of the Batalin-Vilkovisky BRST charge for the heterotic superstring. In particular, we completely solve the higher-ghost sector using a recursion relation. The gauge choice ▽ + θ = 0, which we previously proposed for the superparticle, leads to a free quantum action.- string model
