In this thesis, W+charm production is measured in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at 13 TeV, as recorded by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. The analysis focuses on the identification of W bosons in their leptonic decay to a muon and a neutrino and charm quarks are tagged via the full reconstruction of D*-Mesons. The measured cross sections of W+c production are used, in combination with other relevant CMS results and the most precise HERA DIS data, in a QCD analysis to determine the strange quark content of the proton. The resulting strange quark distribution and suppression, with respect to the other light sea quarks, are in good agreement with those obtained in neutrino scattering experiments and extend their kinematic reach. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aElementary particles (Physics) 606 $aQuantum field theory 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23029 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 615 0$aElementary particles (Physics). 615 0$aQuantum field theory. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 14$aElementary Particles, Quantum Field Theory. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 676 $a539.72167 700 $aPflitsch$b Svenja Karen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0841746 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427691503321 996 $aAssociated Production of W + Charm in 13 TeV Proton-Proton Collisions Measured with CMS and Determination of the Strange Quark Content of the Proton$91878929 997 $aUNINA
