Neutron diffracted intensity (at \(q={q}_{{\rm{Bragg}}}\)) and width of the Bragg peaks as a function of the normalized field \(B/{B}_{{\rm{ord-dis}}}\), with \({B}_{{\rm{ord-dis}}}\) the order–disorder transition field. a Normalized intensity in pristine Bi\({}_{2}\)Sr\({}_{2}\)CaCu\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{8+\delta }\) (circles) compared to similar data in (K,Ba)BiO\({}_{3}\) (squares) taken from ref. 28. Similarly as in our case, Klein et al.28 considered \({B}_{{\rm{ord-dis}}}={B}_{{\rm{ON}}}\), the onset field of the second-peak effect measured in (K, Ba)BiO\({}_{3}\). b Average \(q\)-width of the Bragg peaks, \({\sigma }_{\parallel }/{q}_{{\rm{Bragg}}}\), for pristine Bi\({}_{2}\)Sr\({}_{2}\)CaCu\({}_{2}\)O\({}_{8+\delta }\) in comparison to our instrumental resolution. Error bars correspond to the standard error of the mean
