The magnetic properties of a Ba1-xKxBiOy film (x = 0.36) of thickness 18 mu
m are investigated. It is shown that the field dependences J(c)(B) of crit
ical currents at 5-20 K in fields above the peak-effect field H-p are corre
ctly described in the collective pinning theory for a vortex lattice with a
small bundle size. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-777X(99)
