  We have derived a model of the Kuiper belt luminosity function exhibited by a
broken power-law size distribution. This model allows direct comparison of the
observed luminosity function to the underlying size distribution. We discuss
the importance of the radial distribution model in determining the break
diameter. We determine a best-fit break-diameter of the Kuiper belt
size-distribution of 30<Db<90 km via a maximum-likelihood fit of our model to
the observed luminosity function. We also confirm that the observed luminosity
function for m(R) ~ 21-28 is consistent with a broken power-law size
distribution, and exhibits a break at m(R)=26.0+0.7-1.8.
