In principle -- if you accelerate a particle towards light speed
(and hence gaining mass), and assuming the size of the particle do not
change, is it possible to get a black hole from there?
I know, I know -- depends on the particle in question. In this case,
I think unlikely.

Is this referred to as the event horizon? I understand that the
Schwarzschild radius is the radius where light particles would orbit at,
unable to ever escape the black hole without additional help.

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.
Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
