+Below is a TypeScript function that models the collision between two spinning billiard balls using the equations from the paper by Hyeong-Chan Kim. This function uses the `vector3` library and assumes that each `Ball` object has properties `vel` (velocity) and `wvel` (angular velocity).
+
+Please note that some variables like angles (`theta0`, `phi`) and physical constants (`mu`, `mu_s`, `e_star`, `nu`, `R`) need to be provided, and their values depend on the specific scenario of the collision.

+    nu: number;      // Moment of inertia coefficient (for solid sphere, nu = 2/5)
+    R: number;       // Radius of the ball

+
+**Assumptions and Notes:**
+
+1. **Coordinate System:**
+   - `x̂` (`n`): Unit vector from the center of ball `a` to ball `b` at the point of collision.
+   - `ŷ`: Perpendicular to both `x̂` and `ẑ`, computed using the cross product.
+   - `ẑ`: The vertical axis, assumed to be `[0, 0, 1]`.
+
+2. **Angles:**
+   - `ϕ` (`phi`): The angle between the initial velocity of ball `a` and the collision normal `x̂`.
+   - `θ₀` (`theta0`): The angle between the angular velocity vector of ball `a` and the collision plane.
+
+3. **Heaviside Step Function:**
+   - Implemented using simple conditional checks for `Θ(θ₀)` and `Θ(-θ₀)`.
+
+4. **Physical Constants:**
+   - `e_star`: Effective coefficient of restitution between the balls.
+   - `μ` (`mu`): Friction coefficient between the balls.
+   - `μ_s` (`mu_s`): Friction coefficient between the balls and the table.
+   - `ν` (`nu`): Moment of inertia coefficient (for a solid sphere, `ν = 2/5`).
+   - `R`: Radius of the balls.
+
+5. **Angular Velocities:**
+   - The change in angular velocity for the cue ball (`a`) and the new angular velocity for the object ball (`b`) are computed using equation (54).
+
+6. **Vector Operations:**
+   - Ensure that all vector operations (addition, subtraction, cross product, dot product, scaling) are correctly implemented as per the `vector3` library's methods.
+
+**Usage Example:**
+
+```typescript
+// Define the balls
+const ballA: Ball = {
+    pos: new Vector3(0, 0, 0),
+    vel: new Vector3(1, 0, 0),
+    wvel: new Vector3(0, 0, 0),
+};
+
+const ballB: Ball = {
+    pos: new Vector3(1, 0, 0),
+    vel: new Vector3(0, 0, 0),
+    wvel: new Vector3(0, 0, 0),
+};
+
+// Define collision parameters
+const collisionParams: CollisionParams = {
+    e_star: 0.9,
+    mu: 0.05,
+    mu_s: 0.2,
+    nu: 2 / 5,
+    R: 0.05715, // Standard billiard ball radius in meters
+};
+
+// Perform collision
+collide(ballA, ballB, collisionParams);
+
+// After collision, ballA.vel and ballB.vel will be updated
+console.log('Ball A velocity:', ballA.vel);
+console.log('Ball B velocity:', ballB.vel);
+console.log('Ball A angular velocity:', ballA.wvel);
+console.log('Ball B angular velocity:', ballB.wvel);
+```
+
+**Important Considerations:**
+
+- **Validation:** Ensure that the inputs are valid, and handle edge cases (e.g., zero velocities or angular velocities) to prevent division by zero or undefined behavior.
+- **Units:** Consistency in units is crucial. Make sure all measurements are in SI units (meters, seconds, kilograms).
+- **Further Refinement:** The physical model assumes ideal conditions. In practice, additional factors like ball deformations, spin decay, and air resistance might need to be considered.
+- **Testing:** Verify the function with known scenarios to ensure accuracy.
