  Many of the recently discovered TeV gamma-ray sources are associated with
pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe). In fact, they represent the most populous class of
Galactic sources at TeV energies. In addition, HESS has also discovered, in a
survey of the Galactic plane, a population of TeV gamma-ray sources that are
still without definitive counterparts at longer wavelengths. For a number of
these sources, a pulsar is an evident association, which is often located
within an extended region of the TeV gamma-ray emission. These particular HESS
sources are promising candidates for yet not resolved pulsar wind nebulae. Here
we have undertaken a systematic search for X-ray counterparts of the sources,
using the archival Chandra data, within the spatial bounds of the unidentified
HESS sources. A number of X-ray sources have been detected in the Chandra
fields. Two of them, CXOU J161729.3-505512 and CXOU J170252.4-412848, are of a
special interest because of their excellent positional coincidence with the
pulsars PSR J1617-5055 and PSR J1702-4128, respectively. The first source is
extended, with a bright core of 2.6 arcsec (FWHM) in radius but the emission
can be seen up to roughly 20 arcsec. The second one is much fainter and
detected only with marginal significance (4.6 sigma). It might also be slightly
extended, although the situation is quite uncertain due to very limited
statistics. The analysis of the archival Chandra data for a middle-aged pulsar
(PSR J1913+1011) does not reveal any statistically significant excess at and
around the position of the pulsar or the center of gravity of its plausible TeV
gamma-ray counterpart (HESS J1912+101). We discuss the implications of the
results.
