The Grassmann-odd partner of the Faddeev-Popov ghost field in the gauge-fixing determinant representation. In an auxiliary-field BRST symmetry description it obeys , where is the Nakanishi-Lautrup field. Its ordinary spacetime derivative remains odd, which matters when moving an anticommuting BRST parameter past it.
