  We present a novel concept of a low-energy e+ source with projected intensity on the order of 1010 slow e+/s. The key components of this concept are a continuous wave e- beam, a rotating positron-production target, a synchronized raster/anti-raster, a transport channel, and extraction of e+ into a field-free area through a magnetic plug for moderation in a cryogenic solid. Components were designed in the framework of GEANT4-based (G4beamline) Monte Carlo simulation and TOSCA magnetic field calculation codes. Experimental data to demonstrate the effectiveness of the magnetic plug is presented.
