Charge fluctuations observed in early fixed-target proton-proton experiments are consistent with string models. In central heavy ion events the picture can change in two ways: strings can interact and find new ways to hadronize or they can be effectively inactivated to lose their dynamical role as ordering mechanism. Widely different charge fluctuations can be expected. The dispersion of the charges in a central rapidity box is an advantageous measure. In an explicit Dual-Parton-Model calculation using the DPMJET code and a randomized modification to simulated charge equilibrium, various energies and different nuclear sizes were considered. Local fluctuations were found to be a serious problem. However, for large enough detection regions charged particle fluctuations can provide a clear signal reflecting the basic dynamics of central heavy ion processes.
