Irradiation with 1.4 GeV ²⁰⁸ Pb ions was used to induce artificial disorder in single crystals of iron-arsenide superconductor Ba(Fe _{1 - x} Co _x ) ₂ As ₂ and to study its effects on the temperature-dependent London penetration depth and transport properties. A study was undertaken on overdoped single crystals with x = 0.108 and x = 0.127 characterized by notable modulation of the superconducting gap. Irradiation corresponding to the matching fields of B _Φ = 6 T and 6.5 T with doses 2.22 × 10 ¹¹ d /cm ² and 2.4 × 10 ¹¹ d /cm 2 , respectively, suppresses the superconducting T c by approximately 0.3 to 1 K. The variation of the low-temperature penetration depth in both pristine and irradiated samples is well described by the power law Δ λ ( T ) = A T n . Irradiation increases the magnitude of the prefactor A and decreases the exponent n , similar to the effect of irradiation in optimally-doped samples. This finding supports universal s ± pairing in Ba(Fe 1 - x Co x ) 2 As 2 compounds for the entire Co doping range.
