Abstract
We present a method based on three-particle azimuthal correlation cumulants for the study of the interaction of jets with the medium produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and LHC where jets cannot be reconstructed on an event-by-event basis with conventional jet finding algorithms. The method is specifically designed to distinguish a range of jet interaction mechanisms such as Mach cone emission, gluon Cerenkov emission, jet scattering, and jet broadening. We discuss how anisotropic flow background conti-butions of second order (e.g. [Formula: see text]) are suppressed in three-particle azimuthal correlation cumulants, and discussed specific model representations of di-jets, away-side scattering, and Mach cone emission.
