For standard one-dimensional Brownian motion and a fixed h>0, the Brownian reflection principle gives the survival probability 2Φ(h/t​)−1. The standard normal distribution function has derivative 1/2π​ at zero, giving the displayed asymptotic. Thus the persistence exponent is one half, with leading constant h2/π​.
