In this study, we have performed a detailed analysis of genuine pion correlations and fluctuations in terms of the normalized factorial comulant moments of second and third orders, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], in case of [Formula: see text]O–AgBr interactions at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A GeV/c. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of AMPT and UrQMD model simulated events. The UrQMD model reproduces the trends in experimental results but the strength of correlation is much smaller. However, the AMPT model does not also replicate all features of the experimental data. The genuine two-particle and three-particle correlations are found to become weaker with the increase in momentum of the projectile nucleus.
