Abstract
We discuss the importance of event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present results of multiplicity fluctuations of photons and charged particles produced in 158 GeV Pb+Pb collisions at CERN-SPS. Multiplicity fluctuations agree with participant model calculations indicating the absence of critical fluctuation. Localized fluctuations in charged particles to photons have been analyzed and compared to various mixed events. The results show localized fluctuations in both charged particles and photons. However, no correlated DCC-like fluctuation is observed.
