Abstract
For massive QED with a gauge-fixing term a candidate for the energy-momentum tensor is presented. Both cases of scalar and spinor matter fields are treated. The energy-momentum tensor is invariant under the restricted gauge transformations which exist in that model. This property guarantees that the unphysical scalar photons do not contribute to the energy-momentum densities. The difference between the translational generators and the energy-momentum observables is pointed out.
