Abstract
A new type of D = 10 harmonic superspace with two generations of harmonics allows us to reduce the D = 10, N = 1 Brink-Schwarz (BS) superpaticle to a system whose constraints are all first class, functionally independent and Lorentz-covariant. Given these properties, the covariant BFV-BRST quantization of the system is straightforward. By second quantizing this system, we circumvent the no-go theorem which forbids the existence of a covariant off-shell unconstrained superfield action for the linearized D = 10 super-Yang-Mills theory.
