Abstract: The method of factorial moments Fq of continuous order suggested by Hwa has been tested. It was found that using this method to analyze the experimental data will not produce satisfactory results. Some improvements were made for Hwa,s method,making it suitable for multifractal analysis of experimental data. The analytic results for the experimental pseudorapidity distributions of charged particles produced in 400 GeV/c pp collisions indicated that the method of the factorial moments of continuous order is feasible. There is possibly multifractal behavior in the process of multiplicity production in pp collisions at 400 GeV/c.
