O-3 - Cosmic rays far above LHC-equivalent energy continuously bombard Earth, white dwarfs and neutron stars

The flux normalization comes from the (contemporaneous) Auger spectrum; the Gyr exposure of astronomical bodies is the shared cosmic-ray survival premise D-1.

Why this is evidence

The exposure premise that gives the survival observations their force: under H-1, nature has already run vastly more super-LHC collisions on these bodies, so their continued existence is improbable; under H-2 the same exposure is harmless. Discriminates jointly with O-1/O-2/O-4.
