Abstract
Using the newly developed computational techniques and the covariant formalism, the nucleon magnetic moments and the neutron-electron interaction are calculated. A pseudoscalar meson theory is assumed. Finite and unambiguous results are obtained to the lowest non-vanishing order in the coupling constants. These depend on the unknown strength of the meson coupling. While a not unreasonable value may be used to fit the proton moment, the corresponding neutron moment comes out much too large. With this fitting, the neutron-electron potential turns out to be attractive with an equivalent well depth of the order of 5 to 10 kilovolts.
