    A new stage of the collider experiments at the maximum energy of protons and nuclei at the LHC may lead to the discovery of new phenomena, as well as to confirm the effects previously observed only at very high energies in cosmic rays. A specific program of the experiments is so-called "forward" physics, i.e. the study of low-angle processes. Of the most interesting phenomena can be noted the detection in cosmic rays events called Centauro, which could be explained as the strangelets production. Centauro represent events with small multiplicity and with a strong suppression of electromagnetic component. Since the energy of the beams at the collider and kinematic parameters of the forward detectors CASTOR (CMS), TOTEM, LHCf and the ADA and ADC (ALICE) are close to the parameters and energies of abnormal events in cosmic rays, it is possible to reproduce and investigate in details these events in the laboratory.
