Process for the preparation of polybutadiene with a low branching degree which comprises: (a) a first polymerization step of butadiene in the presence of organic solvents and in the presence of a catalytic system comprising (a1) a derivative of neodymium; (a2) an aluminum alkyl having general formula (I) AlR<SUB>1</SUB>R<SUB>2</SUB>R<SUB>3</SUB>; (a3) an organo aluminum derivative containing at least one halogen atom, preferably chlorine; the above first step being carried out up to a conversion of butadiene >98% to give a linear polybutadiene (g<SUB>m</SUB>=1) with a content of 1,4-cis units greater than 93% and a Mw/Mn ranging from 2.2 to 2.9; (b) treatment of the polymeric solution obtained at the end of step (a) with a peroxide, (c) recovery of the polybutadiene with a low branching degree obtained at the end of step (b).
