Abstract

Chiral doublet bands based on the $π g_{9 / 2} \otimes ν h_{11 / 2}$ configuration that achieve degeneracy at spin $I = 17$ in the odd-odd triaxial ${}^{104}{R h}$ nucleus have been observed. Experimental verification of the interpretation has been tested against specific fingerprints of chirality in the intrinsic system.
