| contents | The passage through a critical point of a many-body quantum system leads to abundant nonadiabatic excitations. Here, we explore a regime, in which the critical point is not crossed although the system is passing slowly very close to it. We show that the leading exponent for the excitation probability then can be obtained by standard arguments of the Dykhne formula but the exponential prefactor is no longer simple, and behaves as a power law on the characteristic transition rate. We derive this prefactor for the nonlinear Landau-Zener (nLZ) model by adjusting the Dykhne's approach. Then, we introduce an exactly solvable model of the transition near a critical point in the Stark ladder. We derive the number of the excitations for it without approximations, and find qualitatively similar results for the excitation scaling. |
