Waiting times for particles in a branching Brownian motion to reach the rightmost position

We consider a branching Brownian motion (BBM) on the real line R, which evolves as follows. Starting at time t = 0, one particle located at 0, called the root, moves like a standard Brownian motion until an independent exponentially distributed time with parameter 1. At this time it splits into two particles, which, relative to their birth time and position, behave like independent copies of th...
