Neutrino Astrophysics and Galactic Cosmic Ray Anisotropy in IceCube

The IceCube Observatory is a kilometer-cube neutrino telescope under construction at the South Pole and planned to be completed in early 2011. When completed it will consist of 5,160 Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) which detect Cherenkov radiation from the charged particles produced in neutrino interactions and by cosmic ray initiated atmospheric showers. IceCube construction is currently 90% complete. A selection of the most recent scientific results are shown here. The measurement of the anisotropy in arrival direction of galactic cosmic rays will also be presented and discussed.Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures, proceeding of Beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics, Cosmology and Astrophysics (Beyond 2010), Cape Town, South Africa (2010

IceCube Observatory: Neutrinos and the Origin of Cosmic Rays

The completed IceCube Observatory, the first km^3 neutrino telescope, is already providing the most stringent limits on the flux of high energy cosmic neutrinos from point-like and diffuse galactic and extra-galactic sources. The non-detection of extra-terrestrial neutrinos has important consequences on the origin of the cosmic rays. Here the current status of astrophysical neutrino searches, and of the observation of a persistent cosmic ray anisotropy above 100 TeV, are reviewed.Comment: Proceedings for the XIV Vulcano Workshop, Vulcano (ME), Italy, May 28 - June 2, 2012; 6 pages, 6 figure

A parameterisation of single and multiple muons in the deep water or ice

A new parameterisation of atmospheric muons deep underwater (or ice) is presented. It takes into account the simultaneous arrival of muons in bundle giving the multiplicity of the events and the muon energy spectrum as a function of their lateral distribution in a shower.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figures, talk given at TAUP 2005, Zaragoza (Spain) (to appear in the proceedings of TAUP 2005

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat melalui Pengelolaan Program Desa Wisata

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) mendiskripsikan pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pengelolaan program Desa Wisata oleh Pokdarwis Krebet Binangun. (2) mendiskripsikan faktor pendukung dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pengelolaan program Desa Wisata oleh Pokdarwis Krebet Binangun. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Pemberdayaan masyarakat oleh Pokdarwis Krebet Binangun diterapkan dengan menyelenggarakan kegiatan sosialisasi atau penyuluhan, diskusi, kompetisi, percontohan dan perintisan. Pengelolaan yang dilakukan yaitu meliputi: (a) Perencanaan, (b) Pengorganisasian, (c) Penggerakan, (d) Evaluasi. (2) Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh Pokdarwis Krebet Binangun adalah kurangnya kesadaran dan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang desa pariwisata, belum optimalnya kerja masing-masing bidang khususnya bidang pariwisata, kurangnya perhatian pemerintah, sarana dan prasarana pendukung pariwisata yang belum memadai, serta destinasi obyek wisata yang belum tertata dengan baik. Faktor pendukung yang ada meliputi beragamnya potensi wisata yang tersedia, adanya dukungan dari pengurus dan tokoh masyarakat setempat, kerjasama antar warga masyarakat serta sikap kekeluargaan dan gotong royong yang masih sangat kental
