Abstract: We consider an observable very sensitive to the nonzero intrinsic charm (IC) contribution to the proton density. It is the ratio between the differential cross sections of the photon or Z-boson and c-jet production in the pp collision, γ(Z)+c, and the γ(Z) and the b-jet production. It is shown that this ratio can be approximately flat or increasing at large γ(Z) transverse momenta pT, and their pseudorapidities 1.5<η<2.4 if the IC contribution is taken into account. On the contrary, in the absence of the IC, this ratio decreases as pT grows. We also present the ratios of the cross sections integrated over pT as a function of the IC probability w. It is shown that these ratios are mostly independent on the theoretical uncertainties, and such predictions could therefore be much more promising for the search for the intrinsic charm signal at the LHC compared to the predictions for p$_T$ spectra, which significantly depend on these uncertainties.
