What produces the proton's magnetic moment ?
I am primarily a nuclear experimentalist nowadays, but I've published in nucl-th, nucl-ex, hep-ex, hep-ph, and astro-ph. The spin of the nucleon is its angular momentum. This is (not coincidentally) oriented in the same direction as its magnetic moment, but they are different things. The spin is not "electromagnetic" in any way, shape, or form---and nor is it "strong" or "weak" or anything else. A spin-up particle simply has a different wavefunction than a spin-down particle, and that difference needs to go into any particle-interaction calculation you could possibly do.
Did you bother to notice, for example, that the gluon is spin-1? Yet it has no charge, no magnetic moment, etc.
Did you bother to notice that the W-boson is spin-1? It interacts with neutrinos (not electromagnetically) and it obviously cares about the neutrino spin.
I suspect the "Mayer-Jensen theory" is just the nuclear shell model developed by Maria Goeppert-Mayer and J. Hans D. Jensen for which they got their Nobel Prize.What is the magnitude of the spin-orbit interaction in Mayer-Jensen theory?
I did not say that the spin is electromagnetic.The spin is not "electromagnetic" in any way,
What evidence do you have that nuclear physics is wrong?
Ask it to Ben M,
since he does not know to explain us why the spin-interaction influences the proton-neutron interaction,
and so he cannot explain why Nuclear Physics is disproved by some experiments

There is no such thing as "spin-interaction".I said that the spin-interaction is electromagnetic, which is totally different.
So, the spin-interaction of a proton is electromagnetic.

There is no such thing as "spin-interaction".
There is the spin-orbit interaction which is a quantum mechanical effect causing a shift in the energy levels of bound particles. Those energy levels are "electromagnetic" only in the sense that an electron or nucleon changes levels by emitting or absorbing light. They are not caused by electromagnetism.

I will not waste my time with lay men
He does not have to because it is basic nuclear physics. Or even reading comprehensionAsk it to Ben M,

It does not "influence the proton-neutron interaction". It influences the energy levels that are possible in a system.In quantum physics, the spin-orbit interaction (also called spin-orbit effect or spin-orbit coupling) is any interaction of a particle's spin with its motion. The first and best known example of this is that spin-orbit interaction causes shifts in an electron's atomic energy levels due to electromagnetic interaction between the electron's spin and the nucleus's magnetic field. This is detectable as a splitting of spectral lines. A similar effect, due to the relationship between angular momentum and the strong nuclear force, occurs for protons and neutrons moving inside the nucleus, leading to a shift in their energy levels in the nucleus shell model.
I did not say that the spin is electromagnetic.
to mean that the spin is electromagnetic.2- The spin of nucleons is electromagnetic,
Oh my God !!!He does not have to because it is basic nuclear physics. Or even reading comprehension!

please tell us: what produces the magnetic moment of the proton ?
Everbody is waiting your response !!!!!
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

in the OP to mean that you were interested in some interaction with laymen.I will give here an example so that to be understood by a lay man.
I did not say that the spin is electromagnetic.
2- The spin of nucleons is electromagnetic
The sum of the intrinsic magnetons (mostly) and orbital angular momenta (less) of the consitutent and sea quarks.
