Description

In my talk I would like to cover our recent phenomenology study
of massive charm production in association with a W boson with NLO
accuracy in QCD at the hadron level. By matching our NLO calculation
to parton shower programs using the POWHEG matching method we were
able to create predictions at the hadron level directly comparable to
experiments. At the LHC this process is extensively studied by both
ATLAS and CMS at 7 and 13 TeV. Our results were compared to experimental
data. The talk would cover the detailed comparison of data to
predictions with emphasis on the associated charm-pair production
with a W boson which also gives a non-vanishing contribution to the yields.
