Inclusive W/Z cross section and W charge asymmetry measurements at the LHC

Measurements of inclusive W and Z production cross sections and their luminosity-independent ratios as well as the lepton charge asymmetry in the inclusive W production are presented, for both electron and muon decay channels. The measurements are based on data recorded in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. The results are compared with the theoretical predictions and it is expected to provide additional constraints on the parton distribution functions of the proton.
