      abstract     = {Measurements are presented of the W and Z boson production
                      cross sections in proton-proton collisions at a
                      center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV. Data collected in 2022
                      and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.01
                      fb$^{-1}$ with one or two identified muons in the final
                      state are analyzed. The results for the products of total
                      inclusive cross sections and branching fractions for muonic
                      decays of W and Z bosons are 11.93 $\pm$ 0.08 (syst) $\pm$

                      production, 8.86 $\pm$ 0.06 (syst) $\pm$ 0.12 (lumi)
                      $^{+0.05}_{-0.06}$ (acc) nb for W$^-$ boson production, and
                      2.021 $\pm$ 0.009 (syst) $\pm$ 0.028 (lumi)
                      $^{+0.011}_{-0.013}$ (acc) nb for the Z boson production in
                      the dimuon mass range of 60-120 GeV, all with negligible
                      statistical uncertainties. Furthermore, the corresponding
                      fiducial cross sections, as well as cross section ratios for
                      both fiducial and total phase space, are provided. The
                      ratios include charge-separated results for W boson
                      production (W$^+$ and W$^-$) and the sum of the two
                      contributions (W$^\pm$), each relative to the measured Z
                      boson production cross section. Additionally, the ratio of
                      the measured cross sections for W$^+$ and W$^-$ boson
                      production is reported. All measurements are in agreement
                      with theoretical predictions, calculated at
                      next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy in quantum
