Relying on previous work for momentum-space representations as well as asymptotic behaviors, we Fourier transform to position space and exhibit a sonic boom at a speed larger than the speed of sound. Nontrivial structure is found at small length scales, confirming earlier analytical work by the authors.23 pages, 5 figuresHigh Energy Physics - TheoryEnergy disturbances due to a moving quark from gauge-string dualitytext
