Triple-α reaction rate is re-evaluated by directly solving the three-body Schrödinger equation. The resonant and nonresonant processes are treated on the same footing using the continuum-discretized coupled-channels method for three-body scattering. An accurate description of the α-α nonresonant states significantly quenches the Coulomb barrier between the first two α-particles and the third α-particle. Consequently, the α-α nonresonant continuum states give a markedly larger contribution at low temperatures than that reported in previous studies. We show that Nomoto's method for three-body nonresonant capture processes, which is adopted in the NACRE compilation and many other studies, is a crude approximation of the accurate quantum three-body model calculation. We find an increase in triple-α reaction rate by 26 orders of magnitude around 107 K compared with the rate of NACRE.
