Abstract: We study the distance between the two rightmost particles in branching Brownian motion. Derrida and the second author have shown that the long-time limit d12 of this random variable can be expressed in terms of PDEs related to the Fisher--KPP equation. We use such a representation to determine the sharp asymptotics of mathbbP(d12>a) as ao+infty. These tail asymptotics were previously known to "exponential order;" we discover an algebraic correction to this behavior.
