After a short recapitulation of the basic characteristics of the Vicsek model I will implement the Lennard-Jones potential into the system giving the particles an excluded volume. Then I will investigate how this change effects the overall dynamics of the system. In particular I will focus in the clustering behaviour, the change of the order parameter and finally I will try to identify the order of the phase transition by utilysing the cumulants and finite-size scaling effects.
