Abstract. We consider oriented bond or site percolation on ℤ d +. In the case of bond percolation we denote by P p the probability measure on configurations of open and closed bonds which makes all bonds of ℤ d + independent, and for which P p {e is open} = 1 −P p e {is closed} = p for each fixed edge e of ℤ d +. We take X(e) = 1 (0) if e is open (respectively, closed). We say that ρ-percolation occurs for some given 0 〈 ρ≤ 1, if there exists an oriented infinite path v 0 = 0, v 1, v 2, …, starting at the origin, such that lim inf n →∞ (1/n) ∑ i=1 n X(e i ) ≥ρ, where e i is the edge {v i−1 , v i }. [MZ92] showed that there exists a critical probability p c = p c (ρ, d) = p c (ρ, d, bond) such that there is a.s. no ρ-percolation for p 〈 p c and that P p {ρ-percolation occurs} 〉 0 for p 〉 p c . Here we find lim d →∞ d 1/ρ p c (ρd, bond) = D 1 , say. We also find the limit for the analogous quantity for site percolation, that is D 2 = lim d →∞ d 1/ρ p c (ρ, d, site). It turns out that for ρ 〈 1, D 1 〈 D 2 , and neither of these limits equals the analogous limit for the regular d-ary trees.
