Measurements of μμ pairs from charm, bottom and Drell-Yan in p+p and p+Au collisions at √sNN= 200GeV with the PHENIX detector at RHIC

In this dissertation, measurements of muon pairs from charm, bottom,and Drell-Yan, using data collected by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider(RHIC) and the Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (PHENIX), in p+p and p+Au collisions at √sNN =  200 GeV are presented
