High-energy neutrinos from active galactic nuclei
Open accessAbstract
We calculate the spectrum and high-energy \ensuremath{\nu} background flux from photomeson production in active galactic nuclei (AGN), using the recent UV and x-ray observations to define the photon fields and an accretion-disk shock-acceleration model for producing high-energy particles. Collectively, AGN produce the dominant isotropic \ensuremath{\nu} background between ${10}^{4}$ and ${10}^{10}$ GeV, detectable with current instruments. AGN \ensuremath{\nu}'s should produce a sphere of stellar disruption which may explain the ``broad-line region'' seen in AGN.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
