A neutron small-angle scattering study of the flux-line lattice in heavily twinned YBa2Cu3O72x is presented. It is found that the diffraction signal disappears at temperatures well below Tc , associated with a melting of the flux lattice. The shape of the melting line is consistent with both a Lindemann criterion and the scaling expected for a vortex-glass transition with the superconducting parameters from the three-dimensional XY model. The influence of twin planes on the structure of the vortex lattice and its melting is studied by applying the field at different angles to the c axis. The results are compared with recent specific heat measurements on similar crystals. @S0163-1829~98!03022-7#
