This comprehensive bibliography (6248 entries) is the first of its kind in the general field of nuclear target preparation for use with particle accelerators. The dates covered are 1936 to June 1980. The bibliography includes thin and thick particle accelerator targets as well as the prepa­ ration and use of targets in particle accelerators. The entries in the bibliography are arranged in alphabetical order of authors' names. For ease of use, complete subject, country, and patent indexes have been added. A special expression of gratitude is owed to my wife, Jolana, and I also wish to thank Bill Evans and Stephen Talutis for helping me to organize this bibliography.
