Abstract
Parameterizations of double nucleon removal from the electromagnetic a nd strong interactions of cosmic rays with nuclei are presented. These parameterizations are an extension of previous single nucleon removal parameterizations and combined they represent the dominant part of th e electromagnetic dissociation encountered by a cosmic ray on its trav ersal through matter. Such parameterizations should be very useful in studying cosmic-ray transport through the interstellar medium, the Ear th's atmosphere, spacecraft walls, and extraterrestrial matter.
