This chapter introduces the notation to describe particle collisions using the coefficient of restitution. It raises the question of whether the coefficient of restitution is adequate to describe particle collisions in granular gas. It considers the motion of two colliding spheres.

Keywords:   particle collisions, coefficient of restitution, granular gas, colliding spheres
