  The SELEX experiment (E781) is 3-stage magnetic spectrometer for a high
statistics study of hadroproduction of charm baryons out to large x_F using 650
Gev Sigma-, pi- and p beams. The main features of the spectrometer are: a high
precision silicon vertex system, powerful particle identification provided by
TRD and RICH, forward Lambda decay spectrometer and 3-stage lead glass photon
detector. An experiment overview and spectrometer features are shown.
Reconstructed charm states and results on Lambda_c, D+ particles and
antiparticles produced by Sigma-, pi- and p beams at x_F>0.3 and asymmetry for
Lambda_c are presented.
