Cooling the LHC does cost massive amounts of electricity:
CERN uses 1.3 terawatt hours of electricity annually. That’s enough power to fuel 300,000 homes for a year in the United Kingdom.
It’s plausible that shipping a kilo to the moon with SpaceX starship will soon cost ~50$. That’s a low cost for shipping computer chips.
In addition iron/alluminion is very plenty on the moon so you can easily create things that are to be used on the moon but that isn’t complex like casing out of them.
The LHC seemed to cost around $4.75 billion to build and weights around 14,000-tonne. That suggest you need something like 140 starship trips to bring it up. At $5 million per trip that’s $1 billion.
If a LHC that that would operate at −240 C would cost half of the amount to build you might save a billion by shipping it up to the moon.
