Abstract
The similarities and differences between three commonly used formalisms for radiative parton energy loss in hot strongly interacting matter are discussed. The single gluon emission spectra are evaluated for a model system consisting of a homogeneous medium with a fixed length, the `TECHQM brick'. Sizable quantitative differences are found and the origins of these differences are discussed.
