Abstract

We numerically show that metastable states, similar to the Quasi Stationary States found in the so called Hamiltonian Mean Field Model, are also present in a generalized model in which N classical spins (rotators) interact through ferromagnetic couplings decaying as r-α, where r is their distance over a regular lattice. Scaling laws with N are briefly discussed.
