  Direct photons have been measured in sqrt(s_NN)=200 GeV d+Au collisions at
midrapidity. A wide p_T range is covered by measurements of nearly-real virtual
photons (1<p_T<6 GeV/c) and real photons (5<p_T<16 GeV/c). The invariant yield
of the direct photons in d+Au collisions over the scaled p+p cross section is
consistent with unity. Theoretical calculations assuming standard cold nuclear
matter effects describe the data well for the entire p_T range. This indicates
that the large enhancement of direct photons observed in Au+Au collisions for
1.0<p_T<2.5 GeV/c is due to a source other than the initial-state nuclear
effects.
