Sudden single-nucleon removal reactions from fast radioactive beams are now key to studies of the structure of rare isotopes. The sensitivity of the heavy residue's parallel momentum distribution to the orbital angular momentum of the removed nucleon is a crucial feature with a high spectroscopic value. Two-nucleon removal reactions provide experimental reach toward the rarest nuclear species. We show that the residue parallel momentum distributions in these reactions offer a clear spectroscopic signal of the angular momentum of the pair of nucleons removed, and thus of the residue final state spins and spectroscopy. Our formalism is applied successfully to new final-state-inclusive measurements of like-nucleon pair removal reactions to states in neutron-rich 36Mg and neutron-deficient 20Mg. We also confront a new final-state-exclusive decomposition of two-proton knockout data to states in neutron-rich 26Ne.
