Dear Sunil
from what you say the correct lower limit is 0
A polar angle is always defined between 0 (forward direction) and
180 (backward direction).
Asking between 0 and 15 means asking to score particles produced
inside a cone around beam axis with a semi-aperture of 15 degrees.
Namely all polar angles between 0 and 15 degrees and all azimutal angles
between 0 and 360 degrees.
What you call -15 means again 15, but at an opposite azimuth
with respect to what you call +15.
A part from very special cases, FLUKA has a perfect azimuthal symmetry
in azimuth for particle production.
