Abstract: We consider the branching random walk in random environment with a random absorption wall. When we add this barrier, we discuss some topics related to the survival probability. We assume that the random environment is i.i.d., $S_i$ is a particular i.i.d. random walk depend on the random environment $mathcalL$. Let the random barrier function (the random absorption wall) is $g_i(mathcalL):=a{i}^{a}lpha-S_i,$ where $i$ present the generation. We show that there exists a critical value $a_c>0$ such that if $a>a_c,alpha=frac13$, the survival probability is positive almost surly and if $a<a_c,alpha=frac13$ ,the survival probability is zero almost surely. Moreover, if we denote $Z_n$ is the total populations in $n$-th generation in the new system (with barrier),under some conditions, we show $lnmathbb{P}_{mathcalL}(Z_n>0)/n^{1/3}$ will converges to a negative constant almost surely if $alphain[0,frac13)$.
