Single-electron ionization and excitation cross sections as well as cross sections for excitation into the first excited p state of the alkali metal atoms Li(2s), Na(3s) and K(4s) colliding with antiprotons and protons were calculated using a time-dependent channel-coupling approach. For antiprotons an impact-energy range from 0.25 to 1000 keV and for protons from 2 to 1000 keV was considered. The target atoms are treated as effective one-electron systems using a model potential. The results are compared with theoretical and experimental data from literature and calculated cross sections for antiproton-hydrogen collisions. For proton collisions a good overall agreement is found which confirms the present numerical approach, whereas discrepancies are found between the present antiproton cross sections and those calculated by Stary et al., J.Phys.B 23, 263 (1990).
