| contents | In the manuscript, effects of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are estimated on long-term AGN variability, to provide interesting clues to detect probable hidden TDEs in normal broad line AGN with apparent intrinsic variability which overwhelm the TDEs expected variability features, after considering the unique TDEs expected variability patterns. Based on theoretical TDEs expected variability plus AGN intrinsic variability randomly simulated by Continuous AutoRegressive process, long-term variability properties with and without TDEs contributions are well analyzed in AGN. Then, interesting effects of TDEs can be determined on long-term observed variability of AGN. First, more massive BHs, especially masses larger than $10^7{\rm M_\odot}$, can lead to more sensitive and positive dependence of $τ_{TN}$ on $R_{TN}$, with $τ_{TN}$ as variability timescale ratio of light curves with TDEs contributions to intrinsic light curves without TDEs contributions, and $R_{TN}$ as ratio of peak intensity of TDEs expected variability to the mean intensity of intrinsic AGN variability without TDEs contributions. Second, stronger TDEs contributions $R_{TN}$ can lead to $τ_{TN}$ quite larger than 5. Third, for intrinsic AGN variability having longer variability timescales, TDEs contributions will lead $τ_{TN}$ to be increased more slowly. The results actually provide an interesting forward-looking method to detect probable hidden TDEs in normal broad line AGN, due to quite different variability properties, especially different DRW/CAR process expected variability timescales, in different epochs, especially in normal broad line AGN with shorter intrinsic variability timescales and with BH masses larger than $10^7{\rm M_\odot}$. |
