Positron Beams At Ce$^+$BAF

We present a scheme for the generation of a high polarization positron beam with continous wave (CW) bunch structure for the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Laboratory (JLab). The positrons are created in a high average power conversion target and collected by a CW capture linac and DC solenoid.
