Abstract
We investigate the properties of composite fermions with four attached flux quanta through tilted-field experiments near Landau level filling factor . The observed collapse of fractional quantum Hall gaps in the vicinity of this quarter-filling state can be comprehensively understood in terms of composite fermions with mass and spin. Remarkably, the effective mass and factor of these four-flux-quanta composite fermions around are very similar to those of two-flux-quanta composite fermions around .
