Hard Probes are the "Meridian Line", sQGP is the Forbidden City

Abstract
Relativistic heavy-ion collisions at BNL/RHIC have created a hot and dense nuclear matter, the strongly interacting Quark-Gluon Plasma (sQGP). Hard probes, high transverse momentum particles and jets, interact with the sQGP medium and lose energy. The interactions modify the properties of the hard probes; the medium responds to the energy loss of those probes in a collective way. Many properties of the sQGP have been learned from the modifications to the probes and the medium responses. I will review jet-like correlation results from RHIC, especially those measured by three-particle correlations, and discuss some of the fascinating physics.
