A muon track could look like a proton track in a cloud chamber. How can you tell the difference?
We can use a magnetic field to see which way the particle bends, either positive for the proton or negative for the muon. I don't think that Piantelli has proved the the particle he is seeing is a proton. It could be any number of other subatomic particle types including mesons.
