We study the A+\stackrel\ensuremath→Bl+l^\ensuremath-+jet+X process in nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies. The dilepton as well as the jet will pass through the matter produced in such collisions. The recoiling dilepton will carry information about the kinematical features of the jet, and will thus prove to be a very effective tool in isolating in-medium effects such as energy-loss and fragmentation function modifications. We estimate the contributions due to correlated charm and bottom decay, and identify a window where they are small as compared to pairs from the NLO Drell-Yan process.
