We present new data on the multiplicity of charged particles produced in muon-nucleus interactions at 400 GeV in a freon bubble-chamber experiment. The observed multiplicity distributions for charged particles producing both light and dark tracks have been compared with the negative binomial distribution. Multiplicity correlation between the light and dark tracks has also been studied.
