It is shown that the absorption of photons by electrons above the ionisation threshold can take place through one- and two-step processes. These competing mechanisms show quite different features. Diagnostic methods based on the intensity and pressure dependences and on the magnitude and the angular distribution of the probabilities are proposed.
