 abstract = {The melting of the vortex lattice in highly anisotropic, layered
superconductors with commensurate, periodic columnar pins is studied in
a geometry where magnetic field and columnar pins are normal to the
layers. Thermodynamic properties and equilibrium density distributions
are obtained from numerical minimizations of an appropriate free-energy
functional. We find a line of first-order transitions that ends at a
critical point as the pin concentration is increased. We quantitatively
determine the location of this critical point and show that it is
experimentally accessible.},
