On the role of soft and non-perturbative gluons in collinear parton densities and parton shower event generators by M. Mendizabal, F. Guzman, H. Jung, S. Taheri Monfared

“…Additionally, we explore the impact of this non-perturbative Sudakov form factor on backward parton evolution and its effects on parton and hadron spectra originating from initial state showers. Our results show that soft and non-perturbative gluons significantly influence inclusive distributions, such as Drell–Yan transverse momentum spectra. …”
