The spacetime distribution of energy and momentum deposited by a fast parton traversing a weakly coupled quark-gluon plasma is calculated by treating the fast parton as the source of an external color field perturbing the medium. When the result is used as a source term in the linearized hydrodynamical equations of the medium, the solution is found to contain a sonic Mach cone and a dissipative wake if the parton moves at supersonic speed. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.
