The spectrum of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, as measured by several
experiments [5]. Every cosmic ray with an energy shown in this plot, namely above
1017 eV, liberates in its collision with the atmosphere more energy in its centre-ofmass
frame than does a proton-proton collision at the LHC.

When the LHC attains its design collision rate, it will produce about a
billion proton-proton collisions per second in each of the major detectors
ATLAS and CMS. The effective amount of time each year that the LHC will
produce collisions at this average luminosity is about ten million seconds.

I think your making my point still, even if my science is fuzzy. My math however is just fine. That statement indicates that 58 days a year 24 hours a day the the collider will be at its "design collision rate". ie 10 million secs / 60(min)/60(hour)/24(day)/365(yr)/2(atlas/cms) . That does not take into account it running not at it's "design collision rate" . Even if my head is somewhere up my backside about the temperature(which I have not been convinced it is) explain to me how that can possibly be equivalent to what happens in nature?
My reasoning for the temperature however is based on the QGP theoretical requirements for existence of extreme heat and density. ie. the beginings of the universe or the core of a neutron star. They not only need to create it, they need it to stick around long enough for their detectors to get a picture/signature of it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I am wrong, I'll drop to my knees and bow down begging forgiveness. I just haven't seen any evidence that I am wrong yet other than "no , you're wrong because I said so", and a repeated copy/paste of their safety report, which is what I read to bring me here in the first place!!
