Abstract
High pT π^0 and η, as well as jets are measured using high statistics d+Au collision data collected in RHIC Year-2008 run. Both R_{dA} and R_{cp} for three observables are found to be very consistent each other within quoted systematic and statistical uncertainties. It was found that the R_{dA} is strongly centrality dependent as opposed to the expectations from theoretical models. An explanation of the centrality dependence from the experimental point of view is presented.
