Hi Marshal
In addition to Versnel, there's R.Payne The Roman Triumph, London 1962. Though to be honest Versnel is the authority when it comes to triumphs.
If you're having difficulty accessing primary sources, Forum Romanum is an excellent resource, as is Bill Thayer's wonderful Lacus Curtius.
Bill has put the military articles from the classic Dr Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities on line, including the article on the Triumph which is packed full of references, many of which you can chase up in the two links above.
(Hail Bill Thayer)
Good luck with the paper.
ps - no idea why that hyperlink won't work; have tried several ways to get it in but it's just being perverse. Sorry, you'll have to do a cut n paste.
