abstract
We obtain Proca field theory from the quantisation of the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric worldline upon supplementing the graded BRST-algebra with an extra multiplet of oscillators. The linearised theory describes the BV-extended spectrum of Proca theory, together with a St\"uckelberg field. When coupling the theory to background fields we derive the Proca equations, arising as consistency conditions in the BRST procedure. We also explore non-abelian modifications, complexified vector fields as well as coupling to a dilaton field. We propose a cubic action on the space of BRST-operators which reproduces the known Proca action.

Pair production of massive charged vector bosons from the worldline
A worldline path integral for a massive charged spin-1 particle reproduces the known one-loop Euler-Heisenberg-type Lagrangian and Schwinger pair production rate for vector bosons.
