Three-body systems in pionless effective field theory
  Investigations of three-body nuclear systems using pionless effective field theory ($\mathrm{EFT}_{\not{\pi}}$) are reviewed. The history of $\mathrm{EFT}_{\not{\pi}}$ in $nd$ and $pd$ scattering is briefly discussed and emphasis put on the use of strict perturbative techniques. In addition renormalization issues appearing in $pd$ scattering are also presented. Bound state calculations are addressed and new perturbative techniques for describing them are highlighted. Three-body breakup observables in $nd$ scattering are also considered and the utility of $\mathrm{EFT}_{\not{\pi}}$ for addressing them.
