Here, we show that the intrinsic heavy-quark QCD mechanism for the hadroproduction of heavy hadrons at large xF can resolve the apparent conflict between measurements of double-charm baryons by the SELEX fixed-target experiment and the LHCb experiment at the LHC collider. We show that in fact both experiments are compatible, and that both can be correct. The observed spectroscopy of double-charm hadrons is in agreement with the predictions of supersymmetric light front holographic QCD.
