The information that has been gathered from cosmic rays and their composition has helped to make many discoveries, including the existence of previously undetected subatomic particles. In the 1950's the development of particle accelerators allowed us to charge certain particles to energies similar to those of standard cosmic rays, but nowhere near as powerful as the much rarer high energy rays...

Standard cosmic rays have an average energy of 109 eV, or electron volts, where the highest energy rays have been measured up to 1019 eV. Man made particle accelerators can charge a particle to anywhere from 106 to 1011 eV. "Physicists have struggled for decades to determine where such ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays come from, and how they are accelerated to energies 100 million times greater than particle accelerators have reached" (Cho 896)...
