High-energy Neutrino Productions from AGN Disk Transients Impacted by Circum-disk Medium

Abstract

Various supernovae (SN), compact object coalescences, and tidal disruption events are widely believed to occur embedded in active galactic nuclei (AGN) accretion disks and generate detectable electromagnetic (EM) signals. We collectively refer to them as \emph{AGN disk transients}. The inelastic hadronuclear ($pp$) interactions between shock-accelerated cosmic rays and AGN disk materials shortly after the ejecta shock breaks out of the disk can produce high-energy neutrinos. However, the expected efficiency of neutrino production would decay rapidly by adopting a pure Gaussian density atmosphere profile applicable for stable gas-dominated disks. On the other hand, AGN outflows and disk winds are commonly found around AGN accretion disks. In this paper, we present that the circum-disk medium would further consume the shock kinetic energy to more efficiently produce high-energy neutrinos, especially for $\sim$\,TeV$-$PeV neutrinos that IceCube detects. Thanks to the existence of the circum-disk medium, we find that the neutrino production will be enhanced significantly and make a much higher contribution to the diffuse neutrino background. Optimistically, $\sim 20\%$ diffuse neutrino background can be contributed from AGN disk transients.
