Absolute zero: defined by scientists as the complete absence of heat. Measured at -273.2° Celsius, 0° Kelvin, and -459.7° Fahrenheit. At absolute zero, molecules stop moving and thus do not generate heat. Absolute zero has never been achieved, though scientists have come within millionths of a degree.
Accelerator: any machine used to impart large amounts of kinetic energy to charged particles. These particles are used to explore nuclear or sub-nuclear phenomena.

Visitor Safety Information
We hope your visit with us is both safe and enjoyable. Most of the areas you visit at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) will not expose you to radiation above normal background levels. However, you may be exposed to radiation if you enter a Radiologically Controlled Area (RCA) or handle radioactive material.

Introduction
The purpose of the CEBAF Nomenclature Document (CND) is to provide a standard system of unique names to represent pieces of accelerator and experimental equipment. Naming is mostly limited to objects found along the beam line. Nomenclature identification is used on drawings, schematics, computer software, and other sources of information. IOCs and equipment racks have their own independent naming scheme. Items in the LERF and Halls may be included.

The purpose of the CEBAF Nomenclature Document (CND) is to provide Jefferson Lab employees with a standard system of unique names to represent specific pieces of accelerator and experimental equipment. Up to nine alphanumeric characters are used to identify a particular equipment, its system, and its location. Nomenclature identification is used on drawings, schematics, computer software, and other sources of information.
