During the propagation of primary cosmic ray nuclei through the atmosphere, besides protons, light nuclei are produced from both the fragmentation of the air nuclei and the spallation of incident nuclei. In order to study the spectra of light fragments in the atmosphere, a new parameterization of the distribution of protons in the energy range from 10 MeV to 1 GeV from the fragmentation of air nuclei has been developed. This new parameterization is then scaled according to the coalescence model, and it was used to determine the differential energy spectra of secondary deuterium from 100 MeV/n to 100 GeV/n in the atmosphere, as a function of depth and zenith angle.
