Abstract: Antikink-kink ( $$$mK$) collisions in the $ph{i}^6$ model exhibit resonant scattering although the $ph{i}^6$ kinks do not support any bound states to which energy could be transferred. In Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 (2011) 091602 it was conjectured that, instead, energy is transferred to a collective bound mode of the full $$$mK$ configuration. Here we present further strong evidence for this conjecture. Further, we construct a collective coordinate model (CCM) for $$$mK$ scattering based on this collective bound mode trapped between the $$$mK$ pair which allows us to reproduce the full dynamics of $$$mK$ scattering with striking accuracy. We also study kink-antikink ($mK$$$) scattering and its description by a CCM. In this case a significant role of radiation is discovered.
