Abstract: We consider a branching random walk on $mathbbR$ with a killing barrier at zero. At criticality, the process becomes eventually extinct, and the total progeny $Z$ is therefore finite. We show that the tail distribution of $Z$ displays a typical behaviour in $(nl{n}^2(n){)}^{-1}$, which confirms the prediction of Addario-Berry and Broutin.
