Using this as the important non-perturbative ingredient, we get a good fit to data over a wide range of energy. Combining it with the non-perturbative masses and cutoffs that are a feature of conventional parton showers also leads to a reasonable fit. We discuss the extrapolation to the LHC.14 pages, 6 figures; version accepted by JHEPHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyA model of non-perturbative gluon emission in an initial state parton showertext
