We consider branching Brownian motion on the real line with absorption at zero, in which particles move according to independent Brownian motions with the critical drift of $$-\sqrt{2}$$-2. Kesten (Stoch Process 7:9–47, 1978) showed that almost surely this process eventually dies out. Here we obtain upper and lower bounds on the probability that the process survives until some large time $$t$$t. These bounds improve upon results of Kesten (Stoch Process 7:9–47, 1978), and partially confirm…

### Fine asymptotics for the consistent maximal displacement of branching Brownian motion

It is well-known that the maximal particle in a branching Brownian motion sits near $\sqrt2 t - \frac{3}{2\sqrt2}\log t$ at time $t$. One may then ask about the paths of particles near the frontier:
