W, Z and photon production at the LHC

Abstract

Recent results on $W$, $Z$ and photon production at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. Inclusive $W$ and $Z$/${\gamma }^{\ast }$ production, their production in association with jets and heavy flavors, and prompt photon, $\gamma \gamma$ and $\gamma$+jets production are discussed.
