Run details: - W+charm production

The production of a W boson in association with a single charm quark is studied using 140 ifb−1 of i$\sqrt{s} = 13$TeV proton-proton collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The charm quark is tagged by a charmed hadron, reconstructed with a secondary-vertex fit. The W boson is reconstructed from an electron/muon decay and the missing transverse momentum. The mesons reconstructed are D± → Kπ±π± and D → D0π± → (Kπ±)π±, where pT(e, μ) > 30GeV, |η(e, μ)| < 2.5, pT(D) > 8GeV, and |η(D)| < 2.2. The integrated and normalized differential cross-sections as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W boson decay, and of the transverse momentum of the meson, are extracted from the data using a profile likelihood fit. The measured fiducial cross-sections are σfidOS − SS(W + D+) = 50.2 ± 0.2 (stat.) −2.3+2.4 (syst.) pb, σfidOS − SS(W+ + D) = 48.2 ± 0.2 (stat.) −2.2+2.3 (syst.) pb, σfidOS − SS(W + D*+) = 51.1 ± 0.4 (stat.) −1.8+1.9 (syst.) pb, and σfidOS − SS(W+ + D*−) = 50.0 ± 0.4 (stat.) −1.8+1.9 (syst.) pb. Results are compared with the predictions of next-to-leading-order quantum chromodynamics calculations performed using state-of-the-art parton distribution functions. The ratio of charm to anti-charm production cross-sections is studied to probe the s −  quark asymmetry and is found to be Rc± = 0.971 ± 0.006 (stat.) ±0.011 (syst.).
