Description
Measurements of W and Z-boson production have reached percent-level precision, imposing challenging demands on theoretical predictions. Such predictions directly limit the precision of measurements like the W-boson mass. We present calculations of W- and Z- boson production at the level of $\alpha_s^3$ at fixed order and including transverse-momentum resummation. We discuss technical and numerical challenges, future improvements, and compare with LHC measurements with a focus on PDF and truncation uncertainties.
