Just as Brett said. But you can skip the second step.

[X, fval, info] = fsolve(@(X) f(X,Y_e),
[0.1;0.01;1024;4.;-1.0;0.001;0.0;0.5;154.;71000;0.000007;0.000005;
0;
0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0;0])

If you have more parameters you must pass them all as arguments of the f 
function and than only let X be the only variable.

IMHO A simple variant of this is to create a structure as pass all the 
parameters as members of the struct. Something like

par.Y_e
par.dStat
...

You need to define those member outside and then it should be enough to call 
like above:
[X, fval, info] = fsolve(@(X) f(X,par),


The other option is to make the parameters that you use as global variables 
but then do not forget to declare those variables as global in the function f:

I hope that this helps,
