From the author's abstract: The author studies supercritical branching Brownian motion on the real line starting at the origin and with constant drift \(c\). At the point \(x>0\), he adds an absorbing barrier, i.e., individuals touching the barrier are instantly killed without producing offspring. It is known that there is a critical drift \(c_0\), such that this process becomes extinct almost surely if and only if \(c\geq c_0\). In this case, if \(Z_x\) denotes the number of individuals absorbed at the barrier, the author gives an asymptotic for \(\operatorname{P}(Z_x =n)\) as \(n\) goes to infinity.
