Oxygen and sulfur nuclei with energies of 200 GeV/nucleon from CERN (experiment EMU07) interacted in nuclear emulsions, which were scanned with minimum bias criteria so that essentially all the interactions are detected. Approximately 1000 interactions of each projectile have been analyzed. Results on the multiplicity distributions of produced particles and their pseudorapidity distributions are presented. The mean number of intranuclear collisions occurring in each interaction, calculated from a superposition model, provides a useful parameter to organize the data. No significant deviations are found, even at these energies, from models such as the Venus'' model, of the nucleus---nucleus interactions as being the superposition of individual nucleon-nucleon collisions.
