Can any of these particles be man-made?

I used to think I knew stuff. I used to think that nuclei contained protons, and that protons were essentially hydrogen nuclei. I also used to think that cosmic rays were high-energy photons. Given these prior misconceptions, I’m having difficulty understanding what the #&*@ these people are talking about.

Cosmic rays of the highest energies were believed by physicists to come from remote galaxies containing enormous black holes capable of consuming stars and accelerating protons at energies comparable to that of a bullet shot from a rifle. Weight of a Proton: 1.6726 X 10-27 kg
Weight of a Remington .223 caliber bullet 0.00356394 kg
Given the difference in weights I find the statement in the article to unimaginable.

No luck hunting for the abstract.
