That is hardly surprising: cosmic rays, discovered in 1912, are the first item of ‘particle astrophysics’. To date, their origin is not understood. Many unstable particles were first discovered in cosmic rays, well before they could be artificially produced.
If CERN were to be refounded — or refunded — there is no question that cosmology would be a key research item as well.
Cosmic rays have even contributed to saving CERN (and the Brookhaven lab) from being viewed as ‘labs of mass destruction’.
There was a perceived threat that heavy-ion collisions would produce strange nuclei or mini-black-holes, which might literally eat up our whole planet
