Summary of several Standard Model total production cross section measurements, corrected for leptonic branching fractions, compared to the corresponding theoretical expectations. All theoretical expectations were calculated at NLO or higher. The luminosity used for each measurement is indicated close to the data point. Some measurements have been extrapolated using branching ratios as predicted by the Standard Model for the Higgs boson. Uncertainties for the theoretical predictions are quoted from the original ATLAS papers. They were not always evaluated using the same prescriptions for PDFs and scales. Not all measurements are statistically significant yet.

Summary of several Standard Model total and fiducial production cross section measurements, corrected for leptonic branching fractions, compared to the corresponding theoretical expectations. All theoretical expectations were calculated at NLO or higher. The luminosity used for each measurement is indicated close to the data point. Some measurements have been extrapolated using branching ratios as predicted by the Standard Model for the Higgs boson. Uncertainties for the theoretical predictions are quoted from the original ATLAS papers. They were not always evaluated using the same prescriptions for PDFs and scales. The Wgamma and Zgamma theoretical cross-sections have non-perturbative corrections applied to the NNLO fixed order calculations (PRD 87, 112003 (2013)). Not all measurements are statistically significant yet.
