Plot area with equation

Hello everyone,
I want to plot an area on a sphere, which is defined with the following equations:
R = 50
could somebody help?
Best regards
Alex

r = 50;
NumPoints = 500;
[UnitX,UnitY,UnitZ] = sphere (NumPoints);
RealX = r * UnitX;
RealY = r * UnitY;
RealZ = r * UnitZ;
x = RealX(:);
y = RealY(:);
z = RealZ(:);
Mask = 2.*y .* (sqrt(r.^2-x.^2-y.^2)./(r.^2)).* sind(15) ...
+ ((r.^2-2*x.^2-2*y.^2)./(r.^2)) .* cosd(15) ...
>= cosd(5.8);
% ----------------
figure ('Position', [62,182,1172,338]);
MaskPatchPositive = all ([Mask,z>0], 2);
MaskPatchNegative = all ([Mask,z<0], 2);
% ----------------
subplot (1,3, 1);
hold on
surf (RealX,RealY,RealZ, ...
'EdgeAlpha', 0.05, ...
'FaceAlpha', 0.05);
scatter3 (x(Mask),y(Mask),z(Mask),9, ...
'MarkerEdgeColor', 'none', ...
'MarkerFaceColor', 'r');
hold off
view ([-35,45]);
grid ('on');
box ('on');
daspect ('auto');
ax = gca;
ax.BoxStyle = 'full';
title ('All points');
% ----------------
subplot (1,3, 2);
hold on
surf (RealX,RealY,RealZ, ...
'EdgeAlpha', 0.1, ...
'FaceAlpha', 0.1);
scatter3 (x(MaskPatchPositive),y(MaskPatchPositive),z(MaskPatchPositive),9, ...
'MarkerEdgeColor', 'none', ...
'MarkerFaceColor', 'r');
hold off
xlim ([-5,5]);
ylim ([0,15]);
zlim ([45,50]);
grid ('on');
box ('on');
daspect ([1,1,1]);
view ([-60,30]);
ax = gca;
ax.BoxStyle = 'full';
title ('Upper part');
% ----------------
subplot (1,3, 3);
hold on
surf (RealX,RealY,RealZ, ...
'EdgeAlpha', 0.1, ...
'FaceAlpha', 0.1);
scatter3 (x(MaskPatchNegative),y(MaskPatchNegative),z(MaskPatchNegative),9, ...
'MarkerEdgeColor', 'none', ...
'MarkerFaceColor', 'r');
hold off
xlim ([-5,5]);
ylim ([0,15]);
zlim ([-50,-45]);
grid ('on');
box ('on');
daspect ([1,1,1]);
view ([-60,30]);
ax = gca;
ax.BoxStyle = 'full';
title ('Lower part');

Thanks a lot for your help!
The condition should be the following:
Mask = abs ( ...
2.*y .* (sqrt(r.^2-x.^2-y.^2)./(r.^2)).* sind(15) ...
+ ((r.^2-2*x.^2-2*y.^2)./(r.^2)) .* cosd(15) ...
- cosd(5.8)) >= Epsilon;
But after I changed the condition, the results look a bit wired. Do I need some more adjustment in your program?
Best regards
You are right. I read the post again and realized that I wrote the condition for = cos(5.8) mistakenly, instead of >= cos(5.8). I revised the code and plots and there is no need for Epsilon anymore. You can increase NumPoints to get better accuracy. If the new code is correct, please mark it as the accepted answer. Thanks.
A lot of thanks!!!
