A scheme for accelerating electrons is proposed which uses a bunched relativistic electron beam in a cold plasma. Lasers are not required, and large energy gradients (exceeding 1 GeV/m) are attained. As in the two-stream instability, the streaming relativistic electrons lose energy to the background plasma by exciting a wake plasma wave. If a late-coming electron bunch rides on the wave at a proper phase, it will be boosted to a higher energy as a result of the longitudinal electric field in the wave. A noncollinear injection scheme is proposed in order that the driving electrons can be removed.
