Abstract
We describe the origin, development, and status of the Los Alamos antiproton catching trap. Originally designed for the antiproton gravity experiment, it now is clear that this device can be a source of low-energy antiprotons for a wide range of physics, both on site, at CERN, and also off site.

We hope that the exciting physics that is now possible with captured and cooled antiprotons reflects well on the spirit that H. Walther has shown in his work. Most of all, we wish to join in on the admiring congratulations to H. Walther on the occasion of his 60th birthday
Ach ihr Götter große Götter In dem weite Himmel droben Gäbet Ihr uns auf der Erde festen Sinn und guten Muten,... - Menschengefühl, Goethe
