TL;DR

This paper explores how ultra-high energy proton-proton collisions in laboratory settings can explain features of cosmic ray, neutrino, and gamma-ray spectra, emphasizing the role of collider spectra in shaping astrophysical observations.

Contribution

It introduces a method based on the Quark-Gluon String Model to connect collider proton spectra with cosmic ray and neutrino spectra, highlighting the impact of initial collisions on observed cosmic phenomena.

Findings

Features of cosmic spectra originate from initial proton collisions.

Collider spectra show a 'knee' and Pomeron peak influencing cosmic signals.

Proposes further experimental and observational studies for validation.

Abstract

This paper is dedicated to the study how HE particle spectra, which are measured in cosmic ray physics and astrophysics, are influenced by the specifics of collider spectrum of protons.LHC experiments are providing us with the proton spectra at very high energy (VHE) measured in center-of-mass system. A QCD phenomenological study of previous years gave us the Quark-Gluon String Model for the modeling of baryon and meson production spectra in full kinematical range from centrally produced hadrons up to very forward ones. In 1990, I have applied the method for the recalculation the collider distribution of neutral pions for the description of gamma spectrum from supernova that was measured in the laboratory system. Here, I used the same method. The main statement of this study is that the features of leading spectra of cosmic protons, neutrinos and gamma are to be formed already in first collision of UHE proton at the power source of cosmic particles. The specifics of collider spectrum of protons are as following: the growing distribution at the central rapidity's, which reflects in the "knee" of cosmic proton spectrum, and the triple-Pomeron peak at the end of c.m.s. spectrum that leads to the enhancements in spectra of leading cosmic protons, neutrinos, gamma-photons, and as I assume, positrons too. These conclusions desire for more experimental facts to be collected and new observations to be made.
