Absolute neutrino cross section measurements are presently limited by uncertainties on $\nu$ fluxes. In this paper, we propose a technique that is based the reconstruction of large angle positrons in decay tunnel to identify three-body semileptonic $K^+ \rightarrow e^+ \pi^0 \nu_e$ decays. This tagging facility operated positron counting mode ("event count mode") can be employed determine absolute $\nu_e$ flux at detector with ${\cal O}(1\%)$ precision. Facilities "event event tag mode" i.e....
