In this article a stochastic model for point events expected in the output image of scientific CCDs is derived. This kind of events are typical in CCD systems dedicated to particle detection, such as DAMIC and CONNIE. The model includes the randomness of the charge movement in the silicon and the noise at the readout stage providing the base for an optimal detection technique.
