We propose to study the theory of broad line regions in AGN.We will focus on assessing the role of radiation driven disk winds in producingboth emission and absorption lines. Four key factors motivate our study:{1} the importance of broad lines in AGN spectra and in AGN physics, {2} the wealth and quality of the optical and UV data obtained by HST, {3} the success of radiation driven disk wind models in explaining grossproperties of outflows in AGN and other disk accreting systems and finally {4} AGN outflows might play a key role in the so-called AGN feedback.We will use state-of-the-art Monte Carlo techniques to compute a detailed photoionization structure of a wind predicted by our radiation-hydrodynamical simulations. We will also use Monte Carlo techniques to compute line spectra based on our wind solutions. We will explore the effects of the black hole mass, luminosity, and inclination angle. Our goal is to test whether radiation driven disk winds can account for the observed shapes, strengths, and occurrences of single- and double-peaked emission lines, BALs, detached BALs, and mini-BALs.;
