abstract = {Motivated by its relevance for the study of
perturbations of one-dimensional voter models,
including stochastic Potts models at low temperature,
we consider diffusively rescaled coalescing random
walks with branching and killing. Our main result is
convergence to a new continuum process, in which the
random space–time paths of the Sun–Swart Brownian
net are terminated at a Poisson cloud of killing
points. We also prove existence of a percolation
transition as the killing rate varies. Key issues for
convergence are the relations of the discrete model
killing points and their intensity measure to the
continuum counterparts: these convergence issues make
the addition of killing considerably more difficult for
the Brownian net than for the Brownian web.},
