abstract
Multi-messenger observations of astrophysical transients provide powerful probes of the underlying physics of the source as well as beyond the Standard Model effects. We explore transients that can occur in the vicinity of supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies, including tidal disruption events (TDEs), certain types of blazars, or even supernovae. In such environments, the dark matter (DM) density can be extremely high, resembling a dense spike or core. We study a novel effect of neutrino diffusion sustained via frequent scatterings off DM particles in these regions. We show that for transients occurring within DM spikes or cores, the DM-neutrino scattering can delay the arrival of neutrinos with respect to photons, but this also comes with a suppression of the neutrino flux and energy loss. We apply these effects to the specific example of TDEs, and demonstrate that currently unconstrained parameter space of DM-neutrino interactions can account for the sizable $O$(days) delay of the tentative high-energy neutrinos observed from some TDEs.

Astrophysical Neutrino Sources as Colliders
Neutrino point-source observations (IceCube, KM3NeT) can bound inelastic pp and pγ cross sections from √s ≈ 1 GeV to ~10^5 GeV, extending beyond LHC/HERA and sometimes below unitarity limits.

Flavorful Interactions of AGN Neutrinos with Dark Matter Spike
IceCube-Gen2 flavor ratios can discriminate a U(1) neutrino–dark-matter model in AGN spikes from the standard (1/3:1/3:1/3) and muon-damped predictions, and, combined with mass-ordering and tau-decay data, constrain t...

The Highest-Energy Neutrino Event Constrains Dark Matter-Neutrino Interactions
KM3-230213A limits dark matter-neutrino scattering to below about 1e-22 cm^2/GeV at 220 PeV, but most simple dark matter models are excluded by unitarity above MeV masses.

Cosmological impact of $\nu$DM interactions enhanced in narrow redshift ranges
A redshift-limited dark matter-neutrino interaction reproduces the observed preference for non-zero coupling in CMB and cosmic shear data and evades small-scale structure bounds.
