Abstract
Using data taken by SELEX during the 1996–1997 fixed target run at Fermilab, we study the production of charmed hadrons on copper and carbon targets with Σ−, p, π−, and π+ beams. Parametrizing the dependence of the inclusive production cross section on the atomic number A as Aα, we determine α for D+, D0, D
