Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) is the method of choice for characterising the electronic structure of a given crystalline material. Within the Ultra-Violet (UV) regime, theory can nicely reproduce experimental spectra using the k-conserving dipole selection rules within the one-step model of photoemission [1,2]. Yet, this model is no longer sufficient when dealing with the soft/hard X-ray or high temperature regimes: the XPS-limit. For this case, one has phonon-assisted electronic transitions such that the dipole selection rules cannot describe by themselves the experimentally obtained spectra [3]. Here we use the so-called alloy analogy model in order to quantify the importance of non-dipole transitions. This rather new model is here tested by comparison to new experimental data obtained for the Ag(100) sytem. [1] J. Braun, Rep. Prog. Phys. 59, 1267-1338 (1996), [2] H. Ebert, D. Ködderitzsch and J.
