Looking for introductory collision theory resources

[lordkelvin]

I'm currently in classical mechanics, and we're doing collisions and two body problems currently.

A good portion of the material is covered only in the notes. I could use some supplementary materials. I've looked around on the internet but I haven't found any good resources yet.

I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a good book or web page that covers things like the collision cross section, the coefficient of restitution, and the impact parameter.

We're using Taylor's Classical Mechanics and there isn't enough information. I've looked in Goldstein, and it covers collision cross sections much better, but there isn't enough about the coefficient of restitution.

Thanks for the help

Resnick and Halliday is a good book. But I am not really sure if this is a right place to post such a question.
