Modified methods for computing multifractal moments [ital G][sub [ital q]] and scaled factorial moments [ital F][sub [ital q]] in terms of a new scaled variable [ital X] suggested by Bialas and Gazdzicki, have been employed to study the self-similar behavior of particle production in interactions [sup 28]Si at 14.5[ital A] GeV, [sup 16]O at 60[ital A] and 200[ital A] GeV, and [sup 32]S at 200[ital A] GeV with nuclear emulsion. Power-law dependences of the moments on the number of bins [ital M] of the new variable ([ital X]) have been observed in the data.
