= Exponential Brownian-to-Bessel time change
{c}

For $Z_t=e^{B_t+at}$, use the clock $C_t=\int_0^tZ_s^2ds$. After the inverse time change, the <Dambis-Dubins-Schwarz theorem> gives
$$
dZ_{\tau_u}=dW_u+\frac{a+1/2}{Z_{\tau_u}}du,
$$
so the time-changed process is a <Bessel process> of dimension $d=2a+2$. Its lifetime is $C_\infty$, which is finite almost surely exactly when $d<2$.
