Recent neutron data on the disappearance of long-range order in the vortex lattice of BSCCO at fields of order 1 kGauss is interpreted in terms of the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the thermodynamics of the vortex lattice in a pure system. The authors show that the neutron data is consistent with a disorder-driven phase transition from a vortex crystal at low fields to a vortex glass at higher fields.
