Examining the chiral geometry in 104Rh and 106Rh

The criteria for chiral doublet bands based on one particle and one hole coupled to a triaxial rotor have been summarized. Two representative cases in $A\sim100$ odd-odd nuclei, nearly degenerate $\Delta I =1$ doublet bands in $^{104}$Rh and $^{106}$Rh are checked against these chiral criteria. It is shown that $^{106}$Rh possesses better chiral geometry than $^{104}$Rh, although the energy near degeneracy is achieved in $^{104}$Rh in comparison with the constant energy separation of doublet bands in $^{106}$Rh.
