No. A particle accelerator is a device used to accelerate particles, subatomic in nature, in a rapidly advancing state of acceleration, then crashing them into each other in an attempt to create high levels of energy. There are two types of accelerators, a linear accelerator and a circular accelerator. Linear accelerators use a straight line path, while a circular accelerator uses a circular path to achieve acceleration. It is important the pathway be conducted in a vacuum, so as to avoid interactions with gas particles and dust. Particles are accelerated using specific frequencies to achieve the required acceleration rate, then collided with either a fixed target, such as a metal foil, or with each other.
Singularities are an interruption in the general structure, as we understand it, of space and time. They are a concept in the physical fabric of space and time that represent an ending point, a finite quantity. Black holes are a phenomenon that are a close representation to singularities. The gravitational attraction of a black hole is so intense, not even light can escape. If a black hole was manufactured by a particle accelerator, it would be a small black hole, there wouldn't be enough mass to sustain it. The rate of accretion it would need to sustain itself would not exist within the parameter of its relation to the earth, and it would rapidly evaporate. So no, the creation of a singularity by a particle accelerator would not be large enough to be regarded as a threat to the earth.
