Abstract: (APS)

Working in the temporal gauge A0=0, we study canonical quantization of the Higgs model for giving masses to a gauge field. This gauge differs from those discussed previously in that the symmetry of the theory is not spontaneously broken and the Higgs scalar field does not acquire a vacuum expectation value. Rather, the vector meson acquires its mass through a restoration of symmetry of the vacuum under gauge transformations that do not vanish at spatial infinity.
