Abstract: We consider a branching-selection system of particles on the real line that evolves according to the following rules: each particle moves according to a Brownian motion during an exponential lifetime and then splits into two new particles and, when a particle is at a distance $L$ of the highest particle, it dies without splitting. This model has been introduced by Brunet, Derrida, Mueller and Munier in the physics literature and is called the $L$-branching Brownian motion. We show that the position of the system grows linearly at a velocity $v_L$ almost surely and we compute the asymptotic behavior of $v_L$ as $L$ tends to infinity: $v_L=sqrt2-p{i}^2/2sqrt2L^2+o(1/L^2)$, as conjectured by Brunet, Derrida, Mueller and Munier. The proof makes use of results by Berestycki, Berestycki and Schweinsberg concerning branching Brownian motion in a strip.
