Nicholas Moloney and Francesc Font-Clos have written up their calculation on the size of percolating clusters in branching processes. They exploit a mapping between continuum trees and Brownian excursions, and arrive at a diffusion equation with suitable boundary conditions. In this way, they provide an intuitive rederivation of results first obtained by Botet and Płoszajczak by other methods.
