Abstract
A simpler method of quantization is given for massive gauge theories. This method gives the same results as those of the conventional massive gauge theory with ghost and Higgs fields under the Higgs mass. Besides, we point out physical importance of helicity zero states in non-Abelian gauge theories even in massless case. Furthermore, forms of mass terms that were impossible before, e.g. symmetric mass, are possible now. Applying our method to SU(2)xU(1) symmetry has no particular difficulty, and gives a variant of the standard model without the Higgs boson.
