    Abstract
  • According to the databases of AP-8 and CRRESPRO proton radiation belt models, comparison between both models on the magnetic equator is carried out and reasons for their differences are presented. The model of proton radiation belt for the peak radiation region is developed by using the analytic function, which includes the submodel for relationship between the L value corresponding to the peak value of omni-directional proton differential flux (Lc) and the proton energy, and the submodel for relationship between the peak value of omni-directional proton differential flux Jmax and the proton energy. Finally, the observation of energetic proton on the magnetic equator from RBSP A satellite's REPT telescope is used to compare with the results from AP-8 model, CRRESPRO model and the central radiation model. It is found that the values of omni-directional proton differential flux for 78.9, 102.6 and 208MeV channels from RBSP A satellite are obviously larger than those from the three models, but the values of Lc from RBSP A satellite are very close to those from AP-8 model and the central radiation model, and RBSP satellite also observes the hidden secondary proton radiation belt presented by CRRESPRO Quiet model.
