The sqrt(s)-dependent intrinsic-kT width in PYTHIA 8 is traced to soft gluon emissions controlled by the ISR cutoff pT0Ref, with the fitted width increasing nearly linearly with pT0Ref.

abstract
We consider a model of transverse momentum production in which non-perturbative smearing takes place throughout the perturbative evolution, by a simple modification to an initial state parton shower algorithm. 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.

Interplay of intrinsic motion of partons and soft gluon emissions in Drell-Yan production studied with PYTHIA
The sqrt(s)-dependent intrinsic-kT width in PYTHIA 8 is traced to soft gluon emissions controlled by the ISR cutoff pT0Ref, with the fitted width increasing nearly linearly with pT0Ref.
