You can't have a current with no potential difference....the definition of a current is the flow of electrons across a potential difference. The voltage is the potential difference drop. Negate it and it just doesn't happen.
Any ion will be influenced by a magnetic field. Even electrically neutral particles such as neutrons will follow and be deflected by an electrical field because they have an intrinsic magnetic moment. That the Birkeland currents follow the magnetic field lines is neither here nor there. They would be expected to, since they consist of ionised particles. So it's a circular argument to begin with and doesn't in any way explain their contentions of a "dark mode" undetectable current within the plasma. Nor why it exists when it's being masked (since it can't be generating any emissions, according to them).
As for the detection methods...if a plasma is giving off radiant energy at any wavelength/frequency,

Carl this is covered in the Peratt paper i mentioned regarding Steven's neutral hydrogen regions, particularly with your "expected" radiation etc, as plasma depending on it's state "gives off" a range of radiation, some beyond our timescale.
pls see paper.
Thanks for raising insightful questions.
