We present observations of intense beams of energetic negative hydrogen ions and fast neutral hydrogen atoms in intense (5 x 10(19) W/cm(2)) laser plasma interaction experiments, which were quantified in numerical calculations. Generation of negative ions and neutral atoms is ascribed to the processes of electron capture and loss by a laser accelerated positive ion in the collisions with a cloud of droplets. A comparison with a numerical model of charge exchange processes provides information on the cross section of the electron capture in the high energy domain. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
