We study the chaotic behavior of produced particles in 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 A GeV using the method of erraticity analysis. The non-zero values of new measure of chaotic behavior indicate chaos in multiparticle production process in 16O–AgBr interactions at 60 A GeV. The dynamical origin of such behavior is indicated by the comparison of the present result with the results of Monte-Carlo event generator, based on independent emission hypothesis. Furthermore, UrQMD event generator is unable to reproduce the true chaotic nature of multiparticle production in the same interaction. The target excitation dependence of chaos have also been investigated by dividing the whole data set into two sub-samples of different target excitation. Interestingly, the multiparticle production process becomes less chaotic as the target excitation increases.
