A mechanism of thermonuclear reaction for the sun is introduced that would require a flux of high-energy neutrinos that is more consistent with observational data. The thermonuclear reaction mechanism derived from the Gamow formula of fusion cross section is examined, and the general formulas of fusion cross section are given. The formulas are used to obtain the fusion-reaction rate which in dense low-temperature plasmas lead to a novel mechanism. The mechanism is empoyed to establish an explanation for the solar neutrino problem, since the reduced energy-generation rate of the p-p chain can be generated in the low/moderate-temperature regions of the sun. This conclusion is shown to suggest a decreased solar central temperature which would conform with observations of the flux of high-energy neutrinos.
