Abstract: The criteria for chiral doublet bands based on one particle and one hole coupled to a triaxial rotor have been summarized. Candidate chiral doublet bands in A~100 and 130 odd-odd nuclei were checked against these chiral criteria. Two representative cases, nearly degenerate ΔI =1 doublet bands in 126Cs and 106Rh were investigated in the two quasiparticles coupled with a triaxial rotor model. After including the pairing correlation, good agreement has been obtained between the calculated results and the data available, which supports the interpretation of observed doublet bands as chiral bands.
