A single crystal of isovalently substituted Ba(Fe_1-xRu_x)₂As₂ (x=0.24) is sequentially irradiated with 2.5 MeV electrons up to a maximum dose of 2.1×10¹⁹ e^-/cm². The electrical resistivity is measured in situ at T=22 K during the irradiation and ex situ as a function of temperature between subsequent irradiation runs. Upon irradiation, the superconducting transition temperature T_c decreases and the residual resistivity ρ0 increases. We find that electron irradiation leads to the fastest suppression of T_c compared to other types of artificially introduced disorder, probably due to the strong short-range potential of the pointlike irradiation defects. As a result, a more detailed analysis within a multiband scenario with variable scattering potential strength shows that the observed T_c versus ρ₀ is fully compatible with s_± pairing, in contrast to earlier claims that this model leads to a too rapid suppression of T_c with scattering.
