All i've managed so far is to plot the PDF between 0 degrees and Pi to see that it looks alright, and that it has that "peanut shape". Ive tried to use the built in CDF function but it seems very slow.

Instead of plotting in a loop, define vectors:
j=[0:3141]'/1000;
PE=1/(1+((E_gamma/alpha)*(1-cos(j))));
KN_matrix=(PE.^2.*(PE+(1./PE)-1+(cos(j)).^2))/2;
plot(j,KN_matrix)
Notice the dots before the operators to get element-by-element multiplication, exponentiation, etc.
