Martin:

Although I'm not sure if sun winds really have LHC energies, cosmic rays can have up to 10^7 times the energy of the LHC as reported by the Auger collaboration.
So whatever is created at the LHC, it was already created by cosmic rays.

You're forgetting the luminosity... though cosmic rays have been at it for geological time...
