Wave propagation and particle acceleration in a plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, and ions are studied with theory and particle simulations. With one-dimension, relativistic, electromagnetic, particle simulations, it is found that a magnetosonic shock wave propagating obliquely to an external magnetic field can accelerate some positrons to ultrarelativistic energies. Also, a theory is presented which explains the energy increase rate and particle motion observed in the simulations.
