Scientific paper

We compute the mass loss rate from a disk orbiting a stellar mass black hole assuming that the disk is optically thick to neutrinos and that the flow is guided along magnetic field lines attached to the disk. The results are then used to estimate the terminal Lorentz factor of the wind as a function of the injected Poynting flux, disk neutrino luminosity and magnetic field geometry.
