 Brownian first-passage time

For standard Brownian motion and $a>0$, $T_a=\inf \{t\ge 0:B_t\ge a\}$ is finite almost surely andThe Brownian reflection principle gives this distribution function. The Brownian scaling identity $T_{ca}\stackrel{d}{=}{c}^2{T}_a$ and the Strong Markov property show its probability distribution is a strictly stable distribution with index $1/2$.
