The KOTO (K at Tokai) experiment aims to observe the CP-violating rare decay K_L → π→→ by using a long-lived neutral-kaon beam produced by the 30 GeV proton beam at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex. The K_L flux is an essential parameter for the measurement of the branching fraction. Three K_L neutral decay modes, K_L → 3p 0, K_L → 2π, and K_L → 2→, were used to measure the K_L flux in the beam line in the 2013 KOTO engineering run. A Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the detector acceptance for these decays. Agreement was found between the simulation model and the experimental data, and the remaining systematic uncertainty was estimated at the 1.4% level. The K_L flux was measured as (4.183 ± 0.017_stat. ± 0.059_sys.) × 10⁷ K_L per 2 × 10¹⁴ protons on a 66-mm-long Au target.
