abstract = {Measurements of the W±→ℓ±ν and Z→ℓ+ℓ−
production cross sections (where ℓ±=e±,μ± ) in
proton–proton collisions at s=13 TeV are presented using
data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron
Collider, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of
81 pb −1 . The total inclusive W± -boson production cross
sections times the single-lepton-flavour branching ratios
are
σW+tot=11.83±0.02 (stat)±0.32 (sys)±0.25 (lumi) nb
and
σW−tot=8.79±0.02 (stat)±0.24 (sys)±0.18 (lumi) nb
for W+ and W− , respectively. The total inclusive Z -boson
production cross section times leptonic branching ratio,
within the invariant mass window 66<mℓℓ<116 GeV , is
σZtot=1.981±0.007 (stat)±0.038 (sys)±0.042 (lumi) nb
. The W+ , W− , and Z -boson production cross sections and
cross-section ratios within a fiducial region defined by the
detector acceptance are also measured. The cross-section
ratios benefit from significant cancellation of experimental
uncertainties, resulting in
σW+fid/σW−fid=1.295±0.003 (stat)±0.010 (sys) and
σW±fid/σZfid=10.31±0.04 (stat)±0.20 (sys) .
Theoretical predictions, based on calculations accurate to
next-to-next-to-leading order for quantum chromodynamics and
to next-to-leading order for electroweak processes and which
employ different parton distribution function sets, are
compared to these measurements.},
