The scaled factorial moments and multifractal moments were investigated for secondary particles for various targets in 800-GeV interactions with emulsion nuclei. The results show clear evidence for intermittent behavior according to the self-similar cascade mechanism. The self-similar structure is also observed from the analysis of multifractality as the spectrum of scaling indices, [ital f]([alpha][sub [ital q]]) shows a self-similar behavior in these interactions. The self-similar multifractal structure is found to be consistent with the jet cascading mechanism. The universality of pseudorapidity distribution in interactions with various targets is found from the analysis of the rescaled spectrum function [ital [bar f]]([bar [alpha]][sub [ital q]]). The phase transition is not indicated in our data, either from the analysis of intermittency or from the multifractal analysis.
