In events in which a W boson decays to an electron or muon, the charm quark is tagged either by its semileptonic decay to a muon or by the presence of a charmed meson. The integrated and differential cross sections as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton from the W-boson decay are measured. Results are compared to the predictions of next-to-leading-order QCD calculations obtained from various parton distribution function parameterisations. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea-quark distributions is determined to be 0.96(-0.30)(+0.26) at Q (2) = 1.9 GeV2, which supports the hypothesis of an SU(3)-symmetric composition of the light-quark sea. Additionally, the cross-section ratio sigma(W (+) +)/sigma(W (-) + c) is compared to the predictions obtained using parton distribution function parameterisations with different assumptions about the s-(s) over bar quark asymmetry.", optnote="WOS:000336799600001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1811), last updated on Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:10:13 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP05(2014)068", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1402.6263", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2014)068", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="arXiv:1402.6263", language="English" }
