S-matrix theory is used to analyze different atomic and molecular processes in a linearly polarized few-cycle laser field. The energy spectra of high-order above-threshold ionization (HATI) are presented. Electron-atom potential scattering assisted by a few-cycle laser pulse is also analyzed. It is shown that the plateau structures in the energy spectra of the electron-atom potential scattering are dependent on the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of the laser pulse, so that the cutoff positions of the plateaus can be controlled by changing the CEP. Regarding our analysis of the molecular HATI process, the angle-resolved spectra, obtained by different theoretical approaches, are also presented.
