The little curly electron shows that negative particles turn to the right - so the magnetic field is into the screen / paper.
The interaction is between a beam
particle entering from below and a proton in the CERN 2m hydrogen bubble chamber.
The 'vee' is caused by the decay of a to
.
(Notice: The proton track is slightly darker - hence slower - than the positive
track from the primary collision - which, being more curved, has a lower momentum.
So the latter is probably a .
For it to be a

starting with a
beam
- would be unlikely from strangeness conservation.)
