We consider the application of a small in-plane magnetic field to electrons on a helium surface in a perpendicular magnetic field. Certain states that were bound to the helium surface then dissolve into the continuum turning into long-lived resonances. As a result microwave absorption lines acquire an asymmetric Fano lineshape that is tunable by varying the microwave polarisation or the in-plane magnetic field. Electrons trapped in a formerly bound state will tunnel off the surface of helium; we show that under suitable circumstances this ``radioactive decay'' can show damped oscillations rather than a simple exponential decay. The mechanism for oscillatory exponential decay is not specific to electrons on Helium and this effect may also be relevant elsewhere in physics.
