dc.descriptionThe term 'tomography' is commonly applied to the idea of studying properties of a medium by the modifications this medium induces to a known probe propagating through it. In the context of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions, rare high transverse momentum (p_T) processes taking place alongside soft bulk-matter production can be viewed as a tomographic probe as long as the energy scales are such that the modification of high p_T processes can be dominantly ascribed to interactions with the medium during the propagation of partons. Various high p_T observables have been suggested for tomography, among them hard single hadron suppression, dihadron correlations and gamma-hadron correlations. In this paper, we present a model study of a number of different observables within the same calculational framework to assess the sensitivity of the observables to different properties of the medium and discuss the prospects of obtaining tomographic information.
