Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study the effect of the relative S 5 -angle of a quark and an antiquark on their static potential and the related screening length in a strongly coupled moving N = 4 SYM plasma. The large velocity scaling law for the screening length holds for any relative S 5 -angle θ . However, the velocity independent prefactor Z strongly depends on θ . For comparison with QCD we propose to average Z over all relative orientations on S 5 . This generates a suppression factor relative to the case θ = 0 .
