Abstract
In this brief review, I summarize the new developments on the description of gluon radiation by energetic quarks traversing a medium as well as the observable consequences in high-energy heavy ion collisions. Information about the initial state is essential for a reliable interpretation of the experimental results and will also be reviewed. Comparison with experimental data from RHIC and expectation for the future LHC will be given.
