Abstract
We map out the phase boundary separating the Bose-glass and vortex-liquid phases in an irradiated twin-free YBa_2Cu_3O_(7-δ) single crystal. We take the phase boundary to be the temperature T_g and magnetic field H at which the crystal begins to screen a small ac magnetic field, h_(ac). There is a significant change in slope dT_g/dH of the phase boundary at the matching field B_Φ (≃0.5 T) indicating that interstitial vortices significantly weaken pinning in the Bose-glass state. There is also a pronounced peak in the slope dT_g/dH just below B_Φ at higher h_(ac). Both features disappear when the field is tilted away from the columns.
