contents We make predictions for the expected multiplicities of exotic charmed hadrons and charmed nuclei in Au+Au collisions at SIS100 and LHC beam energies, using input on light hadron and charm production from the UrQMD transport model, and applying the Thermal-FIST model. We demonstrate that the CBM experiment has the capability to explore these states with production rates of one per 3 seconds for $χ_{c0}(1P)$ and $χ_{c1}(1P)$, and one every 3 minutes for $X(3872)$ at the expected data taking rates. Due to the higher baryon density at CBM compared to the LHC, charmed nuclei, if they exist, will be equally abundant at CBM as at the LHC, even though the total charm production at CBM is much lower.
