Dear Vahan,

when you have some questions regarding a FLUKA command, the best thing is
generally to look it up in the manual.

Here is an excerpt from the description of USRBDX:

Note 2):
              Angular distributions must be intended as distributions in
              cos(theta), where theta is the angle between the particle
              trajectory and the normal to the boundary at the point of crossing.

I suggest that you read the whole section about USRBDX: you may find other
useful informations

Alberto
