                      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$^{±}$),
                      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
