A general procedure is given for calculating the double differential cross section for a two-body sequential decay reaction, given the angular distributions for the initial and decay reactions. The kinematics, reference frame transformations, and the Jacobians required for transforming the cross sections are developed for the general two-body sequential decay reaction.
