Ultraviolet radiation emits photons. Do you not know what photons are?
Ultraviolet Spectrum's main interaction with matter is the excitation of molecular and atomic valence electrons, including ejection of the electrons (photoelectric effect).
Yes, it can be greater than the effect of the particles that already bombard the environment here on Earth. I never said that it can be greater than the effects produced by gamma ray bursts or nuclear reactions within stars.
The bursts of energy from particle or matter-antimatter collisions are not massive in the sense of bombs exploding, but rather massive in the sense that the burst or explosion is many times larger than the particles. The particles are extremely small and an explosion the size of a baseball would be considered massive compared to size of the particles. Was that so hard for you to understand?
Quark-gluon plasma is produced when lead ions are collided. Multiple quark-gluon plasmas appear to have been created at the LHC with temperatures in the tens of trillions of degrees. Yes, plasma is contained with magnets to prevent it from diffusing heat into a surrounding medium or container.
You should know all of this since you are an alleged LHC employee.
In addition, quark-gluon plasma can be produced by the collision of other ions, not just lead ions. Colliding gold ions is an example.
