Accelerated degradation studies are widely applied in research on proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for the investigation of the origins and mechanisms of performance loss for electrolysis or fuel cell applications. In a nutshell, it is reported in literature that degradation in PEMs commonly occurs following Fenton-like reactions, where in situ formed H2O2 reacts with transition metal cations to produce radicals.

As the LHC beams cannot be polarized, introducing a dense polarized gas target at the LHCb experiment at CERN, to be operated concurrently with beam-beam collisions, will facilitate fixed-target interactions to explore a new energy regime of spin physics measurements. Unfortunately, typical surface coatings used to avoid polarization losses, such as water, Teflon, or aluminum, are prohibited due to restrictions imposed by vacuum and beam policies. [...]
