We consider a branching random walk initiated by a single particle at location \(0\) in which particles alternately reproduce according to the law of a Galton-Watson process and disperse according to the law of a driftless random walk on the integers. When the offspring distribution has mean \(1\) the branching process is critical, and therefore dies out with probability \(1\). We prove that if the particle jump distribution has mean zero, positive finite variance \(\eta ^{2}\), and finite \(4+\varepsilon \) moment, and if the offspring distribution has positive variance \(\sigma ^{2}\) and finite third moment then the distribution of the rightmost position \(M\) reached by a particle of the branching random walk satisfies \(P\{M \ge x\}\sim 6\eta ^{2}/ (\sigma ^{2}x^{2})\) as \(x \rightarrow \infty \). We also prove a conditional limit theorem for the distribution of the rightmost particle location at time \(n\) given that the process survives for \(n\) generations.
