Abstract
We study the vortex phase diagram in untwinned YBCO crystals with colunmar defects. These randomly distributed defects are expected to induce a "Bose glass'' phase of localized vortices exhibiting a vanishing resistance and Meissner effect for magnetic fields H⊥ to transverse to the columns. We directly observe the transverse Meissner effect using a Hall probe array. As predicted, the Meissner state breaks down at temperatures T_s that decrease linearly as H⊥ to increases. However, T_s lies far below the conventional melting temperature T_m determined by a vanishing resistivity, suggesting a regime where vortices are effectively localized even when rotated off the columnar defects.
