The Metastable State and the Finite-Size Effect of the First-Order Phase Transition

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 transit...
