abstract
Measurements of W-boson production at the LHC have reached percent-level precision and impose challenging demands on theoretical predictions. Such predictions directly limit the precision of measurements of fundamental quantities such as the W-boson mass and the weak mixing angle. A dominant source of uncertainty in predictions is from higher-order QCD effects. We present a calculation of W-boson production at the level of $\alpha_s^3$ at fixed order and including transverse-momentum resummation. We further show predictions for a direct comparison with low-pileup ATLAS transverse-momentum and fiducial cross-section measurements at $\sqrt{s}=5.02\text{ TeV}$. We discuss in detail the impact of modern PDFs. Our calculation including the matching to W+jet production at NNLO will be publicly available the upcoming CuTe-MCFM release and allows for theory-data comparison at the state-of-the-art level.

Impact of Z-boson transverse-momentum resummation on PDF determination
N3LL' resummation is required to reconcile the 13 TeV ATLAS Z-pT spectrum with global PDF fits, but lowering the pT cut below 30 GeV is not yet supported.

An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals
Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

Measurement of $W^{\pm}$-boson differential cross-sections in proton-proton collisions with low pile-up data at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV and $13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
ATLAS reports new high-precision W-boson differential cross sections at 5.02 and 13 TeV, consistent with Standard Model predictions and useful for profiling proton parton distribution functions.

Fast interpolation grids for the Drell-Yan process
Differential NNLO Drell-Yan interpolation grids are released, with closure tests showing sub-per-mille accuracy and a validation that PDF fits are unaffected by the K-factor approximation.

Triple real-emission contribution to the zero-jettiness soft function at N3LO in QCD
The paper provides the technical derivation and cross-checks of the triple-real-emission piece of the N3LO zero-jettiness soft function, confirming the result announced in arXiv:2409.11042.

Cross-section measurements for the production of a $W$-boson in association with high-transverse-momentum jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$= 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
New ATLAS measurements of W+jet production with leading-jet transverse momentum above 500 GeV, including a new collinear phase space, are largely described by NLO multi-leg generators and NNLO MCFM, with MCFM undersho...

Mixed QCD-EW corrections to the neutral-current Drell-Yan process
Exact mixed QCD-EW corrections at order alpha_s alpha to neutral-current Drell-Yan production are computed and applied to distributions, the forward-backward asymmetry, and dressed leptons.
