Characteristics of charged multiplicity distributions in pi- d interactions at 200 GeV/c

Preliminary results on the charged particle multiplicity distribution will be presented and compared with results from {pi}{sup -}p interactions at 200 GeV/c. The data are derived from a 70,000 picture exposure of the Fermilab 30-inch deuterium filled bubble chamber to a beam of 200 GeV/c {pi}{sup -} particles.
