Description
The hypothesis of the possible existence of
valence-like quarks, so called ``intrinsic'' quarks in proton is shortly
reviewed. We show that the careful study of the inclusive production of open
charm and the production of $\gamma$/$Z$/$W$ particles accompanied by the heavy
jets at large transverse momenta \pt\ of these particles or jets can certainly
verify this hypothesis. We also focus on the theoretical predictions of
observables very sensitive to the intrinsic charm contribution to the PDF,
which can be tested at the LHC
