Abstract
The vortex-lattice phase transitions in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystals with ve ry low doses of artificially induced correlated disorder are studied u sing local magnetization measurements. A low density of columnar defec ts shifts the first-order transition to higher fields, apparently tran sforming it into a continuous transition.
