Abstract
The recently discovered correspondence between the distribution of rapidity gaps in electron-nucleus diffractive processes and the statistics of the height of genealogical trees in branching random walks is reviewed. In addition, a new comparison of numerical solutions of exact equations for diffraction on the one hand, and for ancestry on the other hand, both established in the framework of the color dipole model, is presented.
