In this paper, the authors consider a superparticle action consisting of an infinite tower of Siegel superparticle actions plus a term breaking all the twisted N = 2 supersymmetries down to the required N = 1 supersymmetry. With appropriate gauge choice the authors arrive at a quadratic gauge-fixed action, which naturally possesses an infinite sequence of twisted N = 2 supersymmetries, but the BRST operator picks out the correct physical states for the Brink-Casalbuoni-Schwarz superparticlesuperparticle.
