We study multiple scatterings of jets on constituents of a quark gluon plasma and introduce energy-energy correlations to quantify their effects. The effects from a longitudinally expanding plasma on a medium as well as high energy jets are found to be significant at both BNL RHIC and CERN LHC energies. Because jets escape from the plasma long before the completion of a mixed phase, these effects are free from complications of final state hadronic interactions and decays. These suggest that jets can be used to probe the plasma that might be created in future high energy heavy ion collisions.
