Abstract: Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are theorized to produce high-energy neutrinos through photohadronic interactions between accelerated protons and multi-wavelength photons in the accretion disk and outflows. Detecting these neutrinos would provide insight into the dynamics of TDEs. Taking advantage of the recent increase in observed TDEs from wide field-of-view telescopes, we conduct a dedicated search for neutrinos coincident in optical/UV and X-ray wavelengths. We searched for neutrino emission from 89 TDEs selected based on X-ray and optical/UV observations using time-dependent likelihood analysis methods in two parts. First, we searched for emission from individual sources, where we fit the time window of expected neutrino emission. Second, we performed a study of jetted and non-jetted TDE subpopulations using a stacking search with a fixed one year time window. No significant neutrino excess was observed in either search. We set upper limits to the contribution of jetted and non-jetted TDEs detected in optical/UV and X-ray wavelengths to the diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux assuming TDEs are standard candles.
