Investigations of three-body nuclear systems using pionless effective field theory ([Formula: see text]) are reviewed. The history of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] scattering is briefly discussed and emphasis put on the use of strict perturbative techniques. In addition renormalization issues appearing in [Formula: see text] scattering are also presented. Bound state calculations are addressed and new perturbative techniques for describing them are highlighted. Three-body breakup observables in [Formula: see text] scattering are also considered and the utility of [Formula: see text] for addressing them.

Few-body systems, such as cold atoms and halo nuclei, share universal features at low energies, which are insensitive to the underlying inter-particle interactions at short ranges. These low-energy properties can be investigated in the framework of effective field theory with two-body and three-body contact interactions. I review the effective-field-theory studies of universal physics in three-body systems, focusing on the application in cold atoms and halo nuclei.

The light double [Formula: see text] hypernuclei, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], are studied as three-body [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cluster systems in halo/cluster effective field theory at leading order. We find that the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel does not exhibit a limit cycle whereas the [Formula: see text] system in spin-1 channel and the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel do. The limit cycle is associated with the formation of bound states, known as Efimov states, in the unitary limit. For the [Formula: see text] system in the spin-0 channel we estimate the scattering length [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]-wave [Formula: see text] hyperon–hypertriton scattering as [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]fm. We also discuss that studying the cutoff dependences in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems, the bound state of [Formula: see text] is not an Efimov state but formed due to a high energy mechanism whereas that of [Formula: see text] may be regarded as an Efimov state.
