  The proton capture cross sections of the two most proton rich, stable
isotopes of Cadmium have been measured for the first time in the energy range
relevant to the astrophysical p-process between Ep=2.4 and 4.7MeV. The
106Cd(p,gamma)107In and 108Cd(p,gamma)109In cross sections have been determined
using the activation technique. Highly enriched as well as natural Cd targets
have been irradiated with proton beams from both the Van de Graaff and
Cyclotron accelerators of the ATOMKI. The cross sections have been derived by
measuring the gamma-radiation following the beta-decay of the 107In and 109In
reaction products. The experimental results are presented here and are compared
with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach statistical model calculations using
the NON-SMOKER code. It is found that the calculation reproduces well the
experimental data. The sensitivity of the model calculations to the proton- and
gamma-strengths is examined.
