A detailed study of event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density of the produced particles with respect to the width of the pseudo-rapidity interval in terms of the scaled variance ω has been carried out for 16O-AgBr, 28Si-AgBr and 32S-AgBr interactions at 4.5 A GeV/c. For all the interactions the values of scaled variance are found to be greater than one indicating the presence of strong event-by-event fluctuations of maximum particle density values in the multiparticle production process. The event-by-event fluctuations are found to decrease with the increase of the width of the pseudo-rapidity interval. Experimental analysis has been compared with the results obtained from the analysis of events simulated by generating random numbers (MC-RAND) and the Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model. MC-RAND events show significantly less event-by-event fluctuations in comparison to the experimental data. The UrQMD model also failed to reproduce the experimental results. Comparison of our analysis with the outcome of other analysed emulsion data has also been presented.
