Abstract
The complete charge distribution of products from Au nuclei fragmentin g in nuclear emulsion at 10.7A GeV has been measured. Multiplicities o f produced particles and particles associated with the target source a re used to select peripheral and central events. A statistical analysi s, based on event-by-event charge distributions, show that a populatio n of subcritical, critical and supercritical events, i.e. a phase tran sition like behaviour, is observed among peripheral collisions.
