Transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons with p(T)<8 GeV/c and neutral pions p(T)<10 have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment BNL RHIC in d+Au collisions sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The yields are compared to those p+p same sqrt[s(NN)] scaled up number underlying nucleon-nucleon d+Au. yield ratio does not show suppression observed central Au+Au RHIC. Instead, there is a small enhancement high particles.
