In this article, we study the maximal displacement in a branching random walk — a particle process on the real line in which particles move and reproduce independently. We prove that its asymptotic behaviour consists in a first almost sure ballistic term, a negative logarithmic correction in probability and stochastically bounded fluctuations. This result, proved in [HuS09] and [ABR09] is given here under close-to-optimal integrability conditions. Borrowing ideas from [AiS10] and [Rob16], we provide simple proofs for this result, also deducing the genealogical structure of the individuals that are close to the maximal displacement.
