Abstract: We study the long time behavior, as $toinfty$, of solutions of ${\displaystyle }$ left{ �egin{array}{ll} u_t = u_{xx} + f(u), & x>0, t >0,\ u(0,t) = b u_x(0,t), & t>0,\ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)geqslant 0 , & xgeqslant 0, end{array} ight. ${\displaystyle }$ where $bgeqslant0$ and $f$ is an unbalanced bistable nonlinearity. By investigating families of initial data of the type ${sigmaphi}_{sigma>0}$, where $phi$ belongs to an appropriate class of nonnegative compactly supported functions, we exhibit the sharp threshold between vanishing and spreading. More specifically, there exists some value $sigm{a}^{*}$ such that the solution converges uniformly to 0 for any $0<sigma<sigm{a}^{*}$, and locally uniformly to a positive stationary state for any $sigma>sigm{a}^{*}$. In the threshold case $sigma=sigm{a}^{*}$, the profile of the solution approaches the symmetrically decreasing ground state with some shift, which may be either finite or infinite. In the latter case, the shift evolves as $Clnt$ where~$C$ is a positive constant we compute explicitly, so that the solution is traveling with a pulse-like shape albeit with an asymptotically zero speed. Depending on $b$, but also in some cases on the choice of the initial datum, we prove that one or both of the situations may happen.
