abstract = {{The Mainz Energy-Recovering Superconducting Accelerator (MESA), an energy-recovering (ER) LINAC, is currently under construction at the university Mainz. In the ER mode a continues wave (CW) beam is accelerated from 5 MeV up to 10⁵ MeV with a beam current of up to 1 mA. This current is accelerated and decelerated twice within a cavity. For future experiments, the beam current limit has to be pushed up to 10 mA. An analysis of the MESA cavities has shown that the HOM antennas quench at such high beam currents due to the extensive power deposition and the resulting heating of the HOM coupler. To avoid quenching it is necessary to use superconducting materials with higher critical temperature. For this purpose, the HOM antennas will be coated with NbTiN and Nb3SN and their properties will be investigated. For use in the accelerator, the HOM antennas will be installed in the cavities of a former ALICE cryomodule, kindly provided by STFC Daresburry. This paper will show both the status of the refurbishment of the ALICE module to suit MESA, and the coating of the HOM antennas.}},
