In the present work both the ({alpha},{gamma}) and (p,{gamma}) cross sections on the p-nucleus 106Cd have been measured in the energy range relevant to the astrophysical p-process. The results are compared with the predictions of the statistical model calculations implemented with the NON-SMOKER code using different input parameters. The proton capture cross section has also been measured for 108Cd.The {alpha} + 106Cd optical potential, an important input parameter for the 106Cd({alpha},{gamma}) reaction rate determination, can be determined directly by measuring the deviation from the Rutherford scattering in the 106Cd({alpha},{alpha})106Cd elastic scattering experiment. This experiment has also been performed in a wide angular range and the results are compared with different global optical potentials.
