Abstract
We propose a modification of the gauge-fixing procedure in the Lagrangian m ethod of superfield BRST quantization for general,gauge theories, which sim ultaneously provides a natural generalization of the well-known BV quantiza tion scheme as far as gauge-fixing is concerned. A superfield form of BRST symmetry for the vacuum functional is found. The gauge-independence of the S-matrix is established. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved .
