Right. Read it a couple of times. Does it say that the mentioned plasma exclusively existed just after the Big Bang? What they mean here is that at that point in time it was the
only state of matter.

I pasted the link to that page directly from the CERN site. I repeat, they do not say this occurs every day in nature from the collision of cosmic rays with planetary or solar bodies.

Nor does that statement say it does not occur every day in nature.
