Abstract: A systems of self-propelled dumbbells interacting by a Weeks–Chandler–Anderson potential is considered. At sufficiently low temperatures the system phase separates into a dense phase and a gas-like phase. The kinetics of the cluster formation and the growth law for the average cluster size are analyzed.
