A phenomenological mass-energy dependent proton optical model potential has been computed for p-nuclei. The parameters of the Wood-Saxon optical potential are found to be a good fit for proton elastic scattering data involving p-nuclei and elements with mass numbers near p-nuclei (within the range of 74 < A < 148) at energies around the Coulomb barrier of the system. The elastic scattering data were meticulously fitted using the SFRESCO code, allowing for the calculation of the real and imaginary parts of the Wood-Saxon optical potential. To validate the model, experimental proton capture cross-sections for 106Cd and 113In near the Coulomb barrier were compared with results obtained using the TALYS-1.96 code, showing better agreement than the available global proton optical model potential.
