We demonstrate that the clustering statistics and the corresponding phase transition to non-equilibrium clustering found in many experiments and simulation studies with self-propelled particles (SPPs) with alignment can be obtained by a simple kinetic model. The key elements of this approach are the scaling of the cluster cross-section with...
