What are the arguments and the mathematics contraindicating the

penetrating the wall of the tube.
If you really mean proton-proton fusion the cross section for that is
orders of magnitude too low for it to ever be accessible by laboratory
means. Anything else will have to address construction of a D or DT or
DHe3 plasma. Unless you're going to try p+B11 (and then deal with all
the brehmsstrahlung).
What you describe might produce a plasma of 1 to 10 eV which is not
fully ionised. You'll never get fusion with a setup like that.
