This paper is devoted to the quantization of the second-ilk superparticle using the Batalin-Vilkovisky method. The authors show the full structure of the master action. by imposing gauge conditions on the gauge fields rather than on coordinates the authors find a gauge-fixed quantum action which is free. The structure of the BRST charge is exhibited, and the BRST cohomology yields the same physical spectrum as the light-cone quantization of the usual superparticle.
