Abstract
The paper discusses the Berry phase influence on the weak localization phenomenon at the adiabatic backscattering of ultrarelativistic particles in a random medium. We demonstrate that bosons that pass along a certain closed path in opposite directions come back always in phase (an example: the backscattering enhancement of electromagnetic waves), whereas fermions come exactly in antiphase. This produces a "complete weak antilocalization" of ultrarelativistic fermions: the backscattering field intensity vanishes.
