An analysis is made of the multiple Coulomb excitation of vibrational nuclei taking into account both one-phonon and two-phonon processes. Some of the results of Alder and Winther concerning the one-phonon transitions are rederived together with some new results concerning the excitation of the triplet of substates forming the second excited stats. It is shown that the weak two-phonon processes can affect the excitation probabilities through interference with the strong one-phonon processes. The intenference is destnactive at energies for which a particular state is being primarily excited and constructive at higher energies for which the state is being de-excited in favor of higher states.
