摘要：

In the QCD, a transition restoring the chiral symmetry occurs at a high temperature and density. Searching for the signals of the QCD phase transition is one of the goals of the current relativistic heavy-ion physics programs. The metastable state is a unique feature of the first-order phase transition. Using the van der Waals equation of state, the role of the metastable state in finite-size effects is analyzed. It is found that the finite-size effects of the first-order phase transition are closely related to the metastable state. Metastability can be observed in the distribution of the order parameters and the probability of its occurrence depends on the system scale. A sizable probability of the metastability requires a small enough system size. The possibility of observing the metastability in the RHIC/BES is discussed.
