The observed intermittent behavior in nuclear fragment distributions for [sup 238]U at 0.96[ital A] GeV, [sup 84]Kr at 1.52[ital A] GeV, and [sup 131]Xe at 1.22[ital A] GeV may be due to the mixing of fragments produced under different initial conditions. Intermittent effects are significantly reduced by selecting a sample under the same initial conditions. Except the cumulants of order two, all other moments are consistent with zero within their statistical errors.
