Secondary protons are produced during the propagation of primary cosmic ray nuclei through the atmosphere and the fragmentation of air nuclei dominates this production below 1 GeV/n. By analyzing the available experimental data on light fragments produced in nucleus-nucleus collisions, a new parameterization has been developed for the energy and angular distributions of these fragments from 10 MeV/n to 1 GeV/n. Using this parameterization, we have determined the energy spectra of secondary protons from 100 MeV to 100 GeV, as a function of the depth and zenith angle in the atmosphere.
