The dissociative recombination (DR) of NH+ has been experimentally investigated at the storage ring TSR of the MPIK in Heidelberg, using fast merged ion and electron beams. A newly developed mass sensitive imaging detector enabled us to map the branching ratios over collision energies Ed = 0 - 12 eV showing unprecedented detail. Fragment ground states, N(4So) + H(2S), are almost not populated at all collision energies covered. At Ed < 0.02 eV, product channels N(2Do) + H(2S) and N(2Po) + H(2S) dominate at nearly equal fractions. For Ed > 0.02 eV additional product channels become energetically accessible. Their branching ratios display rich structure highly sensitive to collision energy. We combine the branching ratios with an independently measured total absolute DR rate coefficient, providing partial rate coefficients towards particular atomic product states.
