Iapetus particle accelerators

Long into the future, maybe almost a fringe scifi topic?

A far away particle accelerator with no risk to mankind could reach 1,000 times the energy of Earth’s largest colliders,  powered by nuclear and other sources it can reach quadrillions electron volts with no colonies to support no demands from a human city. It can be dug out by robots and buried under the surface to avoid wild temperature swings, it would be encircling Iapetus just as its natural ring already goes around, no accident will harm any person, no expansion will displace people. No issues with Radio silence and hotter a detector, more noise you deal with in trying to tease out the tiny signals from subatomic particles. The Moon of Saturn Instruments could also look outward, rays and particles examined from astrophysical sources. Like our own Moon it rotates slowly, a vacuum is not so difficult to create and it could have the advantage of low cryogenic temperatures. The site could become an Anti-Mater, Neutrino, Exotic particle factory helping power other fringe sciences. Nearby hyrdocrabons that are needed for building can be sourced from the atmosphere of the Moon Titan.

Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) is a proposed Chinese electron positron collider for experimenting on the Higgs boson. It would be the world's largest particle accelerator with a circumference of 100 kilometres (62 mi)

Large accelerators are used for fundamental research in particle physics. The largest accelerator currently active is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, operated by the CERN.
