Abstract
In this paper we revisit the idea of measuring the magnetic dipole moments of the charm baryons and, in particular, of Λ + c by studying the spin precession induced by the strong effective magnetic field inside the channels of a bent crystal. We present a detailed sensitivity study showing the feasibility of such an experiment at the LHC in the coming years.
