Abstract
The Coulomb potential produced by an ultrarelativistic particle (such as a heavy ion) in uniform motion is shown in the appropriate gauge to factorize into a longitudinal Dirac delta function of (z - t) times the simple two dimensional potential solution in the transverse direction. This form makes manifest the source of the energy independence of the interaction.
