We compute the multifractal moments [ital G][sub [ital q]] in terms of a new scaled variable [ital X] suggested by Bialas and Gazdzicki to study the dynamical fluctuations of particles produced in the interactions of [sup 197]Au at 10.6[ital A] GeV with nuclear emulsion. An asymptotic power-law dependence of the moments on the bin size [delta][ital X] has been observed in pseudorapidity ([eta]), azimuthal ([phi]), and [eta]-[phi] phase spaces. The dynamical values of the generalized dimensions are determined in all the phase spaces. The dynamical properties of the produced particles are mapped onto smooth multifractal spectra [ital f]([Delta][alpha][sub [ital q]]) by excluding the statistical contribution. The [sup 197]Au results are compared with a [sup 28]Si ion at 14.5[ital A] GeV and a [sup 32]S beam at 200[ital A] GeV.
