The steady-state distribution function of energetic inner-zone protons is assumed to be composed of two parts associated with the external (diffusive) source, and the internal (Crand) source. The distribution function is evaluated as a function of energy, pitch angle, and dipole shell parameter. It is shown that the external source preferentially supplies protons of energies less than or approximately equal to 30 MeV that mirror close to the equator, while the internal source is most important for protons having energies greater than or approximately equal to 50 MeV, or pitch angles of less than or approximately equal to 50 degrees.
