We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally the existence of two different superconducting states appearing when the wire is driven out of equilibrium by an applied bias, called the global and bimodal superconducting states. The different states are identified by using two-probe measurements of the wire, and measurements of the local density of states with tunneling probes. The analysis is performed within the framework of the quasiclassical kinetic equations for diffusive superconductors. %K Al HEB %K Al superconducting nanowire %K global state %K bimodal state %K quasiclassical kinetic equations %K Usadel equation %P 224503(1-10)
