AbstractThe recently developed hadron resonance gas model with multicomponent hard-core repulsion is used to address and resolve the long standing problem to describe the light nuclear cluster multiplicities including the hyper-triton measured by the STAR Collaboration, known as the hyper-triton chemical freeze-out puzzle. An improved description for the hadronic and light nuclear cluster data measured by STAR at the collision energy $$\sqrt{s_{NN}} =200$$

TeV is obtained. This is achieved by applying a new strategy of analyzing the light nuclear cluster data and by using the value for the hard-core radius of the (anti-)$$\varLambda $$

hyperons found in earlier work. One of the most striking results of the present work is that for the most probable scenario of chemical freeze-out for the STAR energy the obtained parameters allow to simultaneously reproduce the values of the experimental ratios $$S_3$$
