cosmic rays are not electromagnetic rays. they are subatomic particles.
Cosmic rays are radiation consisting of energetic particles originating beyond the Earth that impinge on the Earth's atmosphere. Cosmic rays are composed mainly of bare nuclei, roughly 87% protons, 12% alpha particles (helium nuclei) and most of the rest being made up of heavier atomic nuclei with relative abundances comparable to those found in the Sun. Electrons, gamma rays, and very high-energy neutrinos also make up a much smaller fraction of the cosmic radiation.

CONTINUOUS STREAM OF COSMIC RAYS PRODUCTION IS NOT POSSIBLE ON EARTH.

One answerer says below thats its possible but does he have any idea what is the energy output and radius of cyclotron needed to produce a CONTINUOUS STREAM OF COSMIC RAY EVEN FOR SOME SECONDS. i am sure he does not know it.
I am

As the word says cosmic rays are coming from cosmos and have very high energy.

I suppose we can with accelerating devices synchrotron and cyclotron create very high energy rays but not so important than those produced in novas or supernovas (explosion of stars)
