  "abstract": "Measurements of fiducial integrated and differential cross sections for inclusive $W^+$, $W^-$ and $Z$ boson production are reported. They are based on $25.0 \\pm 0.5$ pb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data at $\\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Electron and muon decay channels are analysed, and the combined $W^+$, $W^-$ and $Z$ integrated cross sections are found to be $\\sigma_{W^+}$ = 2266 $\\pm$ 9 (stat) $\\pm$ 29 (syst) $\\pm$ 43 (lumi) pb, $\\sigma_{W^-}$ = 1401 $\\pm$ 7 (stat) $\\pm$ 18 (syst) $\\pm$ 27 (lumi) pb, and $\\sigma_Z$ = 374.5 $\\pm$ 3.4 (stat) $\\pm$ 3.6 (syst) $\\pm$ 7.0 (lumi) pb, in good agreement with next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD cross-section calculations. These measurements serve as references for Pb+Pb interactions at the LHC at this nucleon--nucleon centre-of-mass energy.",
