Abstract

We searched for the CP-violating rare decay of the neutral kaon, K_L → π⁰ν ν, in data from the first 100 hours of physics running in 2013 of the J-PARC KOTO experiment. One candidate event was observed while 0.34 ± 0.16 background events were expected.We set an upper limit of 5.1 × 10^-8 for the branching fraction at the 90% confidence level (C.L.). An upper limit of 3.7 × 10^-8 at the 90% C.L. for the K_L → π⁰X⁰ decay was also set for the first time, where X⁰ is an invisible particle with a mass of 135 MeV/c².
