Abstract
We calculate the electric potential induced by a fast ion in a conducting solid close to its surface. The ion velocity is supposed to exceed the Fermi velocity in the metal; thus Mach shock waves are induced. Calculations are done within an electron gas approximation; the surface effects are described according to the `specular reflection model`.
