The author has extended this work to the highest energy beams. Multiplicity distributions of shower particles were produced in high energy collisions of {sup 28}Si at 14.5A GeV, {sup 32}S at 200A GeV, {sup 16}O at 200A GeV and 60A GeV. They have studied these distributions in small pseudorapidity intervals of the forward and backward hemispheres in their perspective of Negative Binomial Distribution. Different multiplicity parameters have been computed for the two hemispheres separately and their variations with the phase space interval size have been studied
