Abstract
This paper presents some interesting and informative results of experimental investigation on target excitation dependence of fluctuation of fluctuations studies on produced pions emitted in 16O-AgBr interactions at 60 AGeV and 32S-AgBr interactions at 200 AGeV. A search for the possible signature of chaotic behavior of multiparticle production in nucleus-nucleus collision has been performed with the help of entropy index, μ q . To study the target excitation dependence of the chaotic behavior, the whole dataset is divided into subsamples having different number of recoil target protons which may be considered as a measure of target excitation.
