We consider a model of stochastically interacting particles on \({\mathbb{Z}}\), where each site is assumed to be empty or occupied by at most one particle. Particles jump to each empty neighboring site with rate \(\gamma\) /2 and also create new particles with rate 1/2 at these sites. We show that as seen from the rightmost particle, this process has precisely one invariant distribution. The average velocity of this particle V(\(\gamma)\) then satisfies \(\gamma^{-1/2}V(\gamma)\to \sqrt{2}\) as \(\gamma\to \infty\). This limit corresponds to that of the macroscopic density obtained by rescaling lengths by a factor \(\gamma^{1/2}\) and letting \(\gamma\to \infty\). This density solves the reaction-diffusion equation \(u_ 1=u_{xx}+u(1-u)\), and under Heaviside initial data converges to a traveling wave moving at the same rate \(\sqrt{2}\).
