Using Fano's formula, the three resonances associated with the 2s/sup 2/ /sup 1/S, 2p/sup 2/ /sup 1/D and 2s2p /sup 1/P autoionizing levels of helium were parametrized. They were observed in energy spectra of ejected electrons produced by proton-helium collisions. For the /sup 1/S resonance, the variations with electron emission angle of the shape parameter q and the resonant continuum cross section sigma /s/sub r/ in the angular range 16.5 to 160 deg , for 150-keV protons were determined. The dependence on proton energy of these parameters was also obtained for 16.5 deg angle, in the energy range 14 to 150 keV. Additional results concern the variation of the profile parameters for /sup 1/D and /sup 1/P resonances, with ejection angle, at 150 keV. (auth)
