The critical and irreversibility phase boundaries of the d = 3 diluted uniaxial antiferromagnet Fe{sub 0.60}Zn{sub 0.40}F{sub 2} have been determined under strong external magnetic fields by means of magnetization measurements. The data reveal that the random-field-induced glassy phase, previously observed in the upper part of the (H,T) phase diagram for highly diluted samples (x {approx_equal} 0.3), is extended to higher values of x.
