Abstract
The transitions between complex configurations, to which the giant dipole resonance (GDR) and the double giant dipole resonance (DGDR) doorway states are coupled, are taken into account in second order perturbation theory for the reaction amplitude. It is proved that only transitions between GDR and DGDR doorway states play an essential role in the Coulomb excitation of the DGDR.
