This is no more than a gut feel idea – but the extreme density of fill gas in which the plasma forms, travels down anode, does the horizontal mushroom dance and then collapses to the plasmoid generating the ion beam shot [the sequence being the pulse], the plasma density for that pulse time lapse, is a factor of 1000 times that currently and historically used in different versions of the DPF devices available.
This density should do the following:-

[a] Provide an environment for an enormous increase in fusion reaction flux for the brief period that temperature conditions allow [during collapse phase]
Cause, [because of high reaction flux], a prolonged decay of fusion friendly conditions that in effect will eventually lead to beam shot partially existing continuously but exhibiting, in concert with the preferred pulse cycle, a low amplitude cycle of beam strength that can be reflected in the actual [moment by moment] beam dia.

The challenge will then be to convert the beam energy [at all its varying stregths] in an improved decelerator/capacitor system including a simple cooling regime that is effective, safe and economical on coolant quantities.

The voltage and frequency requirements to satisfy the energy demand of the preferred pulse frequency, as one goes from initial start-up at say .03 atmos thru to service operation at 50 atmos., can only be accurately assessed thru experimentation.
