I do not understand the theory of moment of nuclei

I read here: http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/nuclearmoment3.htm that the magnetic moment of Hydrogen is 2.79284734 magnetons = 2.79284734*9.274009994e-24 joules/tesla =2.59e-23 joules/tesla
So if I make to rotate a proton using 150 keV could I have a magnetic field at the proton surface accordingly following expresion?
$$\frac{150keV*1.6022*10^{-16}\frac{Joule}{keV}} {2.59*10{-23}\frac{Joules}{tesla}}=928 megateslas$$

Do I have to multiply with some constants?
Is the magnetic momento of a proton = 0?

You would need such a huge external field to make the two proton spin orientations differ in energy by 150 keV.
+- some numerical prefactors maybe.
 
You are right, not only difficult for 2 hydrogens but almost impossible due heating over some eV they may get divorced :).

Single protons that have almost the same moment: 2.7928473508 but I suppose may be impossible align all ions due temperature makes them go free pointing anywere and the magnetic field is shielded by external ions and electrons.

I do not know about how is proton internal structure, but seems to be like a charged bump on surface rotating to create a loop that generates a magnetic dipole

Where mathematics prefactors can be found?, I have not bibliography of "atom spin and momentum" or a sample exercise about that and I have to include calculus in a small excel sheet that I am making

No, the magnetic moment is purely from spin of the proton.

Experimentally we cannot rule out a contribution from an electric dipole moment but it has to be tiny.

If in doubt: In textbooks.

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
