Modifications of jet properties resulting from the coupling of jets to the strongly interacting matter produced in RHIC collisions are of great current interest. In recent work, the PHENIX collaboration has applied a novel technique to the analysis of two-particle azimuthal correlations which extinguishes the harmonic part of the underlying event revealing the true jet shape. Recent extensions of the method to three-particle correlations allow for a more revealing study of jet topologies in Au+Au collisions at (√ s NN=200 GeV). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
