Excitation probabilities for the 1s-2s transition of hydrogenlike ions by low-energy (4 --100) E/sub th/ protons are calculated in the Coulomb-Born approximation and compared to the corresponding calculations in the semiclassical approximation with hyperbolic trajectories. Through the use of a Fourier-Bessel transform, an effective energy is derived for the semiclassical approximation, which brings the total cross section into agreement with the Coulomb-Born results.
