The elastic scattering cross section of 106Cd (α,α)106Cd has been measured with high accuracy at energies of E c.m. ≈ 15.5, 17, and 19MeV. The optical potential for the system 106Cd ⊗ α has been derived at energies above and below the Coulomb barrier. Predictions for the 106Cd (α,γ)110Sn capture cross section at astrophysically relevant energies are presented and compared to the experimental data measured recently.
