Abstract
The attempt is made to characterize the photon multiplicity distribution as recorded in Photon Multiplicity Detector (PMD) as a part of the WA98 experiment for Pb-Pb interactions at 158 A GeV in terms of Negative Binomial Distribution. The free parameters n ̅ and k of the negative binomial distribution are optimized using CERN standard program MINIUTE and the errors or the parameters are calculated as given in MINOS software. The results obtained are compared with the predictions of Monte Carlo simulation data using VENUS 4.12.
