Abstract
It is shown that cosmic rays may serve as a source of information abou t nonequilibrium processes in the universe (evaporation of primordial black holes, annihilation of domains of antimatter, decays of metastab le particles, etc.) over a long period of cosmological evolution begin ning from t similar to 10(12) s until the present time. Such processes are associated with the hypothetical physics of phenomena that occur in the very early universe as predicted by modern unified field theori es.
