We report a comprehensive study of the effect of H+ irradiation on the critical current density Jc and vortex pinning in an FeSe single crystal. The value of Jc for FeSe is enhanced by more than a factor of 2 after 3-MeV H+ irradiation, which is explained by the introduction of point pinning centers. Vortex creep rates are found to be strongly suppressed after irradiation. Detailed analyses of the pinning energy based on collective-creep-theory and an extended Maley's method show that the H+ irradiation enhances the value of Jc before the flux creep and also reduces the size of the flux bundle, which suppresses the field dependence of Jc owing to vortex motion.
