Description
To develop observational tests of quantum gravity, we require lever arms that translate Planck-scale predictions into predictions at observationally accessible scales. In my talk, I will use asymptotically safe quantum gravity as a case study. I will show, how the interplay of quantum gravity with matter (both visible and "dark") shapes the properties of matter fields in and beyond the Standard Model at the Planck scale. I will then show how to translate these Planck-scale predictions into predictions of Standard-Model properties as well as predictions about the properties of the dark matter and the dark energy using the Renormalization Group flow as a lever arm.
