Antishadowing and multiparticle production

We discuss role of absorbtion and antishadowing in particle production. Antishadowing, which leads to domination of elastic scattering at high energies, appears to be consistent with growth of mean multiplicity in hadronic collisions. Moreover, we demonstrate possibility to reproduce power-like energy behavior of the mean multiplicity in the model with antishadowing and discuss physical implications of such behavior for the hadron structure.
