We study a branching Brownian motion Z with a generic branching law, evolving in Rd, where a field of Poissonian traps is present. Each trap is a ball with constant radius. We focus on two cases of Poissonian fields: a uniform field and a radially decaying field. Using classical results on the convergence of the speed of branching Brownian motion, we establish precise results on the population size of Z, given that it avoids the trap field, while staying alive up to time t. The results are…

### Branching Brownian motion in an expanding ball and application to the mild obstacle problem

We first consider a d-dimensional branching Brownian motion (BBM) evolving in an expanding ball, where the particles are killed at the boundary of the ball, and the expansion is subdiffusive in time.

### Large deviations for local mass of branching Brownian motion

We study the local mass of a dyadic branching Brownian motion Z evolving in Rd. By ‘local mass,’ we refer to the number of particles of Z that fall inside a ball with fixed radius and time-dependent
