Abstract: Let $M_n$ be the minimal position at generation $n$, of a real-valued branching random walk in the boundary case. As $noinfty$, $M_n-3over2logn$ is tight (see [1][9][2]). We establish here a law of iterated logarithm for the upper limits of $M_n$: upon the system's non-extinction, $limsu{p}_{noinfty}1overlogloglogn(M_n-3over2logn)=1$ almost surely. We also study the problem of moderate deviations of $M_n$: $p(M_n-3over2logn>lambda)$ for $lambdaoinfty$ and $lambda=o(logn)$. This problem is closely related to the small deviations of a class of Mandelbrot's cascades.
