Systematic and thorough study of fluctuations in multiparticle production in high energy hadronic collisions started since the observation of a relatively
high multiplicity cosmic ray event known as JACEE[1] event. In order to explain the observed fluctuations in the rapidity distribution for this event,
Bialas and Peschanski proposed[2,3]scaled factorial moments(SFMs) approach to investigate dynamical fluctuations in multiparticle production in high energy
nuclear collisions. The qth order factorial moment, Fq, is defined as
Where M is the partition number in the available space into which a given rapidity interval is binned and nm is the number of particles falling in the mth bin and the symbol < ….. > represents vertical average obtained for the entire event. If the averaging is done over the whole data sample, the average value of qth order factorial moment is calculated from:

Where denotes the total number of events in the sample.Many experiments have reported that exhibit anomalous scaling behaviour exemplified by
Where a small pseudorapidity interval is partitioned into M bins each of
equal size, . It is of interest to note that" intermittency" in particle physics refers to the power-law behaviour exhibited by with decreasing bin size. Since the occurrence of fluctuation or power-law behaviour in relativistic nuclear collisions has been quite frequently observed, it therefore suggests
that multi-hadronic final states in these collisions possess self-similar fractal. Hence one should carry out a study of Levy stability and multifractal spectrum analysis for the fractal systems.

A random sample comprising of 555 interactions having , where represents the number of charged particles produced in an event with relative velocities, , produced in Silicon-Emulsion collisions, is used for carrying out the present analysis. The emission angles of all the relativistic charged particles were measured and their pseudorapidities were determined. All other relevant details about the stacks used, criteria employed for selecting the events and the method of measuring the emission angles may be found elsewhere. Furthermore, for comparing the experimental results with the corresponding values predicted by the Lund model, FRITIOF, a sample consisting of 5000 events, identical to the experimental ones were simulated.
