Theoretical Predictions for the integrated cross section of the production of W+ and W- bosons associated with a single c-jet, a D meson or a D* meson in the fiducial regions together with the statistical and systematic uncertainties. For the W+c-jet cross sections events with more than one c-jet are discarded. The particle-level c-jet is defined as the one containing a weakly decaying c-hadron with pt>5 GeV, within DeltaR<0.3. Jets containing c-hadrons originating from b-hadron decays are not counted as c-jets. Jets are not required for the W+D/D* cross sections. The cross sections are defined for OS-SS events. The predictions have been obtained the aMC@NLO MC simulation interfaced to the Herwig++ parton shower programme. The uncertainties on the predictions entail PDF uncertainties, parton shower, fragmentation and scale uncertainties. The predictions are reweighted using LHAPDF from the CT10nlo PDF set to the following PDF sets with the LHAPDF IDs given in brackets: CT10nlo (11000), MSTW2008nlo68cl (21100), NNPDF23_nlo_as_0119 (230000), NNPDF23_nlo_collider_as_0119 (236000), HERAPDF15NLO (EIG+VAR, 60700+60730), ATLAS-epWZ12 (EIG+VAR, 65000+65040).
