This is a poor fit. It uses only the peaks of very structured proton spectra.
This spectrum also has some unmodeled structure, but the fit is accurate to a factor of 2 everywhere.
Dipole magnetic field strength at the magnetic equator at the designated L value.
Ratio of the integrated particle pressure for the designated spectrum, normalized by the dipole magnetic pressure.
CRM is the maximum value of the Cm/CK versus Er profile.
ERM is the value of the resonant energy Er at which CRM occurs.
