A simple phenomenological formula is developed relating one ion energy, the collision energy of an ion and a nucleus at rest in the Earth's atmosphere, to another ion energy, the trajectory energy of the ion before the collision. The resulting formula realizes the possibility that ultra-high energy cosmic rays are products of the supernovae in our Galaxy while recognizing that terrestrial experiments have not yet detected any effect. If the collision-trajectory energy difference is one or two percent for 1 TeV protons at the Tevatron, then a readily apparent difference should occur with a 7 TeV trajectory at the LHC.
