<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>We propose a two-component model involving the parton fusion mechanism and recombination of a ''ud'' valence diquark with a sea ''c''-quark of the incident proton to describe &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c^+\,\!&lt;/math&gt; inclusive production in ''pp'' collisions. We also study the polarization of the produced &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c^+\,\!&lt;/math&gt; in the framework of the Thomas Precession Model for polarization. We show that a measurement of the &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c\,\!&lt;/math&gt; polarization is a sensitive test of its production mechanism. In particular the intrinsic charm model predicts a positive polarization for the &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c\,\!&lt;/math&gt; within the framework of the Thomas Precession Model, while according to the model presented here the &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c\,\!&lt;/math&gt; polarization should be negative. The measurement of the &lt;math&gt;\Lambda_c\,\!&lt;/math&gt; polarization provides a close examination of intrinsic charm Fock states in the proton and give interesting information about the hadroproduction of charm.</dd>
