The influence of collision centrality upon spectra of negative particles produced indC, αC and CC interactions at 4.2 GeV/c per nucleon is studied. The netcharge of secondary particles is used as a measure of collision centrality. Comparison with the nucleon-nucleon collisions and with Dubna intranuclear cascade model is presented. The main features of the momentum, rapidity and angular spectra are compatible with the independent, nucleon-nucleon collision picture. Only in thepT spectra, the observed particle excess, for low and highpT, is inconsistent with this approach. In contrast to the pions, the spectra of protons are more sensitive to the collision centrality.
