TL;DR: The Primordial Inflation Explorer (PIXIE) as discussed by the authors is an Explorer-class mission to map the absolute intensity and linear polarization of the cosmic microwave background and diffuse astrophysical foregrounds over the full sky from frequencies 30 GHz to 6 THz (I cm to 50 I-tm wavelength).

First Year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) Observations: Interpretation of the TT and TE Angular Power Spectrum Peaks
Lyman A. Page,M. R. Nolta,Cris W. Barnes,Charles L. Bennett,Mark Halpern,Gary Hinshaw,N. Jarosik,Alan J. Kogut,Michele Limon,S. S. Meyer,Hiranya V. Peiris,David N. Spergel,Gregory S. Tucker,Gregory S. Tucker,Edward J. Wollack,Edward L. Wright +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the CMB has distinct peaks in both its temperature angular power spectrum (TT) and temperature-polarization cross-power spectrum (TE) and from the WMAP data, the authors interpret the peaks in the context of a flat adiabatic LambdaCDM model with the goal of showing how the cosmic baryon density, Omega_b h^2, matter density, and Omega_m h^ 2, scalar index, n_s, and age of the universe are encoded in their positions and amplitudes.
