Graphical comparison of the LHCb measurements of $W$ and $Z$ boson production with ATLAS and CMS

Differential production cross-sections for the $W$ boson as a function of the pseudorapidity of the lepton and for the $Z$ boson as a function of the rapidity of the $Z$ boson measured by LHCb are compared graphically to those measured by ATLAS and CMS. A similar comparison is made for the $W$ lepton charge asymmetry as a function of the lepton pseudorapidity for different thresholds on the transverse momentum of the lepton. Correction factors are calculated at next-to-leading order to account for differences in the definition of the fiducial volumes of the measurements. The comparison plots show good agreement between the ATLAS and LHCb results as well as the CMS and LHCb results in the overlapping kinematic regions.
