Speaker: Simon Harris (University of Bath)

 

We will consider a branching Brownian motion where particles have a drift $-\rho$, binary branch at rate $\beta$ and are killed if they hit the origin. This process is supercritical if $\beta>\rho^2/2$ and we will discuss the survival probability in the regime as criticality is approached. (Joint work with Elie Aidekon)
