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 (L_c) and the proton energy, and the submodel for relationship between the peak value of omni-directional proton differential flux J_(max) 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 208 MeV channels from RBSP A satellite are obviously larger than those from the three models, but the values of L_c 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.

Abstract： After lots of experiments by using 19~27MeV differential energetic proton data based on the observation of SAMPEX from July of 1992 to June of 2004, it is found that the change of F_(10.7) and altitude have a great influence on the distribution of differential energetic proton flux in South Atlantic Anomaly. During the geomagnetic quiet time at 54025km altitude, the energetic proton flux in South Atlantic Anomaly decreased with the increasing of F_(10.7), and the variation trend was flat when F10.7 ≥ 115 sfu. It is found that there was obviously an anti-correlation between the absolute value of SYM-H and the differential energetic proton flux in South Atlantic Anomaly for storms with SYM-H ? -50, and also there was a lasting effect on differential energetic proton flux in South Atlantic Anomaly. In addition, the proton flux could be significantly reduced in South Atlantic Anomaly during the main phase, while the proton flux showed a substantial resuming trend in the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms.
