Abstract: An attempt has been made to study the characteristics of charged shower particles produced in 12C-nucleus interactions at 4.5 A GeV. Results shows that the values of normalized moments of the multiplicity distribution of relativistic charged particles produced in relativistic energy in proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus reactions are almost constant within the statistical limit. Furthermore, it is reported that the leading particle multiplicity strongly depends on the mass of the projectile.
