Description
We argue that if semihard QCD is in the origin of the increase of σel/σtot, then a softening of the leading particle spectrum, corresponding to an increase of the inelasticity, should occur. By establishing a simple relation between the inelasticity and the ratio σel/σtot, we are able to describe the energy dependence of the inelasticity, in agreement with cosmic-ray data. (orig.)
