Abstract

We carry out simulations of a lattice London superconductor in a magnetic field

B

, with a finite magnetic penetration length

λ

. We find that superconducting coherence parallel to

B

persists into the vortex line liquid. We argue that the length scale relevant to this effect is

Λ = φ_{0}^{2} / 8 π T_{m}
