Peaks have been observed on the plot of the Josephson critical current against the external magnetic field in a long Josephson tunnel junction with an array of mismatched Abrikosov vortices. An increase in the maximum critical current with increasing number of Abrikosov vortices localized in the junction has also been observed. The observed effects prove that there is a pinning of Josephson vortices by mismatched Abrikosov vortices.
