Abstract: Consider an independent random cascade acting on the positive Borel measures defined on the boundary of a Galton-Watson tree. Assuming an offspring distribution with finite moments of all orders, J. Peyrière computed the fine scale structure of an independent random cascade on Galton-Watson trees. In this paper we use developments in the cascade theory to relax and clarify the moment assumptions on the offspring distribution. Moreover a larger class of initial measures is covered and, as a result, it is shown that it is the Hölder exponent of the initial measure which is the critical parameter in the Peyrière theory.
