| contents | This work introduces an advanced technique optimized for detecting photons generated by charged particles, leveraging Skipper-CCD sensors. By analyzing background sources and detection efficiencies, the technique achieves strong agreement between experimental results and Cherenkov-based simulations. It also provides a robust framework for investigating secondary photon production in environments with high fluxes of ionizing particles, such as those anticipated in space-based astronomical instruments. These secondary photons present a critical challenge as background noise for next-generation single-photon resolving imagers used to study faint celestial objects. Furthermore, the method exhibits significant potential for broader applications, including exploring photon generation in various substrate materials and examining their transport through multiple interfaces. |
