Do bare Neutrons interact with the Electromagnetic field?

I understand that lone Neutrons are highly unstable.

Apart from a direct hit, do they interact with EM Radiation at all?

The short answer is yes - they have a magnetic moment, and interact with the magnetic field.  But you can look deeper.

You have to remember a neutron isn't a fundamental particle - it's made up of up and down quarks.  Those quarks are charged.  So a photon will interact with those partons (individual quarks) without a problem, but needs high energy to scatter off them individually.

For the neutron itself, it's actually an active field of study as to whether the neutron has a finite electron dipole moment (which is to say, a nonuniform distribution of charge).  Measuring a nonzero neutron EDM would tell us something about CP violation, which is a fancy way of  talking about the difference between matter and antimatter.  This could help explain why the universe is made of matter instead of antimatter!
