Abstract Beam­lines ca­pa­ble of merg­ing beams with dif­fer­ent en­er­gies are crit­i­cal to many ap­pli­ca­tions re­lated to ad­vanced ac­cel­er­a­tor con­cepts and en­ergy-re­cov­ery linacs (ERLs). In an ERL, a low-en­ergy "fresh" bright bunch is gen­er­ally in­jected into a su­per­con­duct­ing linac for ac­cel­er­a­tion using the fields es­tab­lished by a de­cel­er­ated "spent" beam trav­el­ing on the same axis. A straight-merger sys­tem com­posed of a se­lect­ing cav­ity with a su­per­im­posed di­pole mag­net was pro­posed and re­cently test at AWA. This paper re­ports on the ex­per­i­men­tal re­sults ob­tained so far along with de­tailed beam dy­nam­ics in­ves­ti­ga­tions of the merger con­cept and its abil­ity to con­serve the beam bright­ness as­so­ci­ated with the fresh bunch.
