  Using the AdS/CFT duality, we analytically evaluate the high momentum (or
short distance) behavior of the color field strength due to a moving quark in
an N=4 SYM plasma. We find a fireball-like behavior in the near quark vicinity
as predicted in the literature on general grounds, in the context of heavy ion
collisions. Our approach to analytically solving the problem is based on a WKB
approximation which may be extended to other setups as well.
