Abstract

We analyse the multifractal structure of moments G_q in terms of a new variable X on data of , and induced interactions with emulsion nuclei and Monte Carlo generated samples. The dynamical properties of the produced particles are mapped onto multifractal spectra. We compare in experimental data of , and with pure statistical fluctuations. It is shown that the stochasticity plays an important role for the G-moments.
