The particle emitted to the left is a proton. There are some hints
given in the photo, to see it immediately:
- The track is darker than the tracks of the rest of the
particles, due to the large mass of the proton, which results in low speed for a given momentum.

- The track is turning to the right, whereas electrons turn to the left. So the charge must be
positive.
