Abstract The variations in radiation belt boundaries reflect competition between acceleration and loss physical processes of energetic electrons, which is an important issue for radiation belts of planets with an internal magnetic field (e.g., Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn). Based on high-quality measurements from Van Allen Probes spanning the years 2014–2018, we develop an empirical model of the energy-dependent boundaries of Earth's electron radiation belt slot region, showing that the lower boundary follows a logarithmic function of the electron energy while the upper boundary is controlled by two competing energy-dependent processes, namely compression and recovery. The compression process relates linearly to a 15 hr averaged Kp index, while the recovery process is found to be approximately proportional to time. Detailed data-model comparisons demonstrate that our model, using only the Kp index and time epoch as inputs, reconstructs the slot region boundaries in real time for 200 keV to 2 MeV electrons under varying geomagnetic conditions. Such a data-driven empirical model is prerequisite to understanding the dynamic changes of the slot region in response to both solar and geomagnetic activities. The model can be readily incorporated into future global simulations of radiation belt electron dynamics in Earth's inner magnetosphere and provide new insights into the study of Saturn's and Jupiter's radiation belt variability.
