Recently a novel phase transition has been observed \citejalin in a rotating Bose-Einstein condensate when the rotating frequency Ω reaches the transverse trap frequency ω\bot and eventually crosses it. We study certain aspects of this experiment in terms of the condensation of composite bosons and the corresponding vortex formation using a Chern-Simon Gross-Pitaevskii theory. %
