/ Abstract
The electroweak boson inclusive production cross sections and their ratios are described in the electron and muon decay channels. The observation of W and Z bosons in the tau decay channel is also presented. The data from pp collisions at 7 TeV were collected during 2010 using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider and the results are compared to predictions at NNLO in perturbative QCD.
