Production of charmed mesons and charmed baryons at the ISR

Although many experiments were dedicated to charm search in hadronic interactions no significant signals were found until recently. This is why no consistent picture for charmed particle production could be extracted from the data so far. After the first observation of D+ production by the CCHK-Collaboration, the obvious aim is to learn more details about the dominant production mechanisms of this new flavour. The observation of charmed baryon production at the ISR by the CCHK and two other collarborations constitutes another major step forward in this field. Here, the two experiments performed by CCHK with the Split Field Magnet (SFM) will be described, in which charmed meson production and charmed (anti)-baryon production were observed. Cross sections will be presented and consequences of the results will be discussed
