  K*-charmonium dissociation reactions in hadronic matter are studied in the
Born approximation, in the quark-interchange mechanism, and with a
temperature-dependent quark potential. We obtain the temperature dependence of
unpolarized cross sections for K*-charmonium dissociation reactions which
produce charmed mesons and charmed strange mesons. We use the cross sections
for charmonium dissociation in collisions with pion, rho meson, kaon, vector
kaon, and eta meson to calculate dissociation rates of charmonium with the five
types of mesons. Because of the temperature dependence of the meson masses,
dissociation cross sections, and meson distribution functions, the charmonium
dissociation rates generally increase with the increase of temperature and
decrease with the increase of charmonium momentum from 2.2 GeV/c. We find that
the first derivative of the dissociation rate with respect to the charmonium
momentum is zero when the charmonium is at rest. While the eta + psi' and eta +
chi_c dissociation reactions can be neglected, the J/psi, psi', and chi_c
dissociation are caused by the collisions with pion, rho meson, kaon, vector
kaon, and eta meson.
