Abstract

A new mechanism of thermonuclear reaction is briefly introduced. It shows that a certain amount of thermonuclear reaction can take place in dense, low temperature (T < 1 × 105 K) plasmas. As most regions in the Sun are at moderate and low temperature, a sufficient amount of fusion energy is generated there. Therefore, the current standard solar models, in which the solar central temperature must be slightly lower than 15 × 106 K, must be modified, and this would make the flux of high-energy neutrinos conform with the observational results.
