Systems containing a small number of quasiparticles of a Laughlin v =
1/m state can be described in terms of composite Fermions carrying eit
her 2p(-) or 2p(+) flux quanta, where 2p(+/-) = m +/- 1. The Fermi liq
uid shell model is applied to these two descriptions for a system of t
he six electrons on a spherical magnetic surface, and predictions for
the low energy spectra are compared with one another and with exact nu
merical results. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
