Abstract:

A measurement of total inclusive and fiducial

\mathrm{W}

and

\mathrm{Z}

boson production cross sections in

\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s}=13

TeV is presented. Electron and muon final states are studied in a data sample collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to

43 \pm 2 \mathrm{pb}^{-1}

. The measured total inclusive cross sections times branching fractions are

\sigma(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \to \mathrm{W}^+ X) \times \mathcal{B}(\mathrm{W}^+ \to \ell^+\nu)

= 11370

90 (lumi) pb for the dilepton mass in the range of 60 to 120 GeV. The measured values agree with next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD cross section calculations. Inclusive cross sections and ratios of cross sections are reported.
