Table 11.

Theoretical predictions for σ(W+c) from MCFM at NLO. The kinematic selection follows the fiducial phase space definition: pT>30GeV, |η|<2.1, pTc>25GeV, |ηc|<2.5, and ΔR(c,)>0.5. For each PDF set, the central value of the prediction is given, together with the relative uncertainty as prescribed from the PDF set, and the uncertainties associated with the scale variations and with the value of αS. The total uncertainty is given in the last column. The last row in the table gives the experimental results presented in this paper
