The first exploratory study of the total event structure in relativistic heavy ion collisions has been carried out utilizing a triggered streamer chamber. The first survey of measurement data of all charged particles is also presented here. Two topics of total event structure analysis have been investigated: (i) bounce-off effect of the projectile fragments, (ii) participant jets. The jet variable, thrust, which has been used in High Energy e/sup +/e-interaction is used to perform the bounce-off effect of the projectile fragments and the participant jets. Results of the thrust analysis have been compared with the theoretical predictions of an hydrodynamics model and an independent nucleon-nucleon model which carried out calculations via Monte Carlo technique. In the presentation of positive charged particle measurement data, ratios of deuteron and triton to proton production as functions of angle and positive charged track multiplicity, and ratio of projectile fragments to participants as function of positive charged track multiplicity are obtained. Rigidity distributions as a function of laboratory angles, rigidity, production angle and momentum transfer distributions as a function of multiplicity are also studied.
