Cosmic rays with energies of tens of TeV and above, skimming the Sun, could fragment into pions. The resulting gamma photons and muons, as well as subsequent electron pairs, will reach us in the form of gamma or electromagnetic air-showers , gamma-like air-showers on Earth. Their multiple presence may soon be observed and disentangled by the LHAASO telescope array.
