Explanation:

The task involves identifying jargon related to a scientific or technical context (like laboratory/cleanroom procedures). Terms like "air lock", "decon cycle", "hot side" are technical jargon (specific to scientific/engineering environments), while "far door", "shower" are more general. So categorize jargon as terms specific to the technical process (air lock, decon cycle, hot side) and non - jargon as general (far door, shower). But since the problem is about sorting jargon, the subfield here is related to Natural Science (specifically a technical/scientific context, maybe Engineering or Environmental Sciences - related lab procedures). The jargon terms are those specific to the technical process: air lock, decon cycle, hot side. Non - jargon: far door, shower.

Answer:

Jargon terms: air lock, decon cycle, hot side; Non - jargon terms: far door, shower
