	Funding: Work supported by the EFRE fund of the EU and by the Freistaat Sachsen (Project Nos. 12321/2000 and 12184/2000) and Siemens AG. The technical performance of ion sources of the Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) type has substantially improved during the last years. This is demonstrated by proof-of-principle experiments which have been done using a room temperature EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-A, which has been in use for several years. A new superconducting EBIS, a so-called Dresden EBIS-SC, has been taken into operation. With the expected higher beam intensities the Dresden EBIS-SC will offer a compact and low-cost solution for applications in particle therapy and will be applicable for synchrotron based solutions (single- or multi-turn injection) as well as other accelerator schemes. It is shown that the introduction of the Dresden EBIS-SC will simplify the injection beam line of medical accelerator facilities.
