This Catalog originated as a common enterprise of solar physicists
and space scientists under the auspices of the Second Working Group
of the Inter-Union Commission of Solar Terrestrial Physics
(IUCSTP). It is a pleasure to acknowledge the support we received
from the IUCSTP president, Dr H. Friedman, and the IUCSTPSecretary,
Dr E. R. Dyer during the several years we have spent on this
project. The aim of our work has been to assemble all observations
of particle events from the first PCA observation in 1955 through
two solar cycle maxima up to the end of 1969, in order to preserve
these data from the first epoch of the space era in a concise form
for use in the future. Because the techniques of observation have
very much improved in the present solar cycle, there is a tendency
to consider the observations before 1964 as incomplete and
out-of-date; one must not forget, however, that the 19th solar
cycle greatly differed from cycle No. 20 in the level of its
activity, and also may have been the last cycle of strong activity
for many decades to come. Therefore, the particle event
observations before 1964 'should be compiled in a consistent manner
for comparison with later observations, and we believe that the
Catalog achieves this. The rapid development of the exploration
techniques necessarily results in a significant amount of
inhomogeneity in the Catalog, as increasingly smaller events were
detected.
