It must be charged particles so beta or alpha. Beta has longer and thinner tracks. ref.

Thanks so much @anuttarasammyak !
 
Also, it's not uncommon to see muons (and occasionally other cosmic ray related particles) in a cloud chamber.

The average flux of muons at sea level is about 1 per square centimeter per minute.
