Abstract We observe vortex pinning in 2.2 GeV Au-ion irradiated NbSe2 by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at 3K. The ion irradiation generates columnar defects which act as pinning sites. At various external magnetic fields the vortex arrangement is clearly resolved but shows strong distortion. The location of individual defects is extracted from STM data and compared to the vortex arrangement.
