Measurement of W and Z boson production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at [square root] s = 5.02TeV and [square root] s = 13TeV

Measurements of W and Z boson production cross sections in pp collisions at [square root] s = 5.02TeV and [square root] s = 13TeV are presented. Data was collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC during low-pileup data taking periods in 2017. The corresponding integrated luminosity for the data is 299.1 ± 5 pb⁻¹ ( [square root] s = 5.02TeV) and 199.3 ± 4 pb⁻¹ ( [square root] s = 13TeV), with an average number of pile-up interactions [[mu] = 3 ([mu] = 2). Cross sections and cross section ratios are reported, with final states in electron and muon channels.
