Abstract
In this paper, preliminary results are presented on high $p_{\rm T}$ inclusive neutral pion measurements in d-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 200$ GeV in the pseudo-rapidity range $0 < \eta < 1$ . Photons from the decay $\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ are detected in the Barrel Electromagnetic Calorimeter of the STAR experiment at RHIC. The analysis of this first BEMC hadron measurement is described in detail. The results are compared to earlier RHIC findings. Furthermore, the obtained $\pi^{0}$ invariant differential cross sections show good agreement with next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative QCD calculations.
