A novel approach for generating and accelerating positron bunches in a plasma wake is proposed and modeled. The system consists of a plasma with an embedded thin foil into which two electron beams are shot. The first beam creates a region for accelerating and focusing positrons and the second beam provides positrons to be accelerated. Monte Carlo and 3D PIC simulations show a large number of positrons (10(7)similar to 10(8)) are trapped and accelerated to similar to 5 GeV over 1 m with relatively narrow energy spread and low emittance.
