W, Z, and QCD

The analyses of W and Z vector bosons, photon, and jets production have been carried out by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations using datasets collected during LHC Run 2, comprising from $36.3\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ to $140\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. Unfolded differential production cross sections as well as event shape observables have been measured, allowing to achieve tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics, extractions of fundamental parameters of the Standard Model, and constraints on parton density functions.
