Abstract
Precision measurements of the production cross-sections of W and Z boson at LHC provide important tests of perturbative QCD and information about the parton distribution functions for quarks within the proton. We present measurements of cross sections for inclusive $W^+$, $W^{-}$ and Z boson production using data collected by the ATLAS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$=2.76 TeV. Measurement of the transverse momentum distribution of Z boson at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV is also presented. The measurements are corrected for detector effects and compared with state-of-the-art theoretical calculations.

Report
Well written proceeding and interesting results (specially Sec.4 result on Z). Recommend for acceptance.
Very minor: During the publication/editing stage: simulation tools mentioned in Section 3 (PYTHIA8.17) and 4 (PYTHIA8.186, POWHEG+PYTHIA8) need to be added.
