Description
The inclusion of string fusion in Dual Parton Model results in the appearance of diquark-antidiquark pairs in the sea with comparatively large Feynman-$x$. Such antidiquarks can fragment into fast antibaryons, thus increasing several times the corresponding yields in high energy $pp$ collisions for $x_F \sim 0.8 ÷0.9$. String fusion also results in an unusual dependence of inclusive spectra on the multiplicity of secondaries. Some numerical estimations are presented.
