Introduction
============

Analysis of correlations and fluctuations plays an important role in studies of the colored medium produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions [@stock; @poly; @dcc]. [*In-medium modification*]{} of parton scattering and fragmentation of energetic partons by the bulk medium produced in heavy-ion collisions may significantly alter large-momentum-scale two-particle correlations relative to those observed in p-p collisions. Large-momentum-scale correlations may result from initial-state multiple scattering [@iss; @jetquench], in-medium dissipation of scattered energetic partons [@newref] and hadronization of the colored medium to final-state hadrons (fragmentation of color strings in p-p, hadronization of the bulk medium in A-A). The local geometry of hadronization,
