We study stationary and dynamical properties of the many-body Landau-Zener dynamics of a Bose quantum fluid confined in two coupled one-dimensional chains by using a many-body generalization recently reported Chen et al. [Nature Phys. 7, 61 (2011)], within the decoupling approximation and the one-level band scheme. The energy spectrum shows evidence of the structure of the avoided level crossings as a function of the onsite interparticle interaction strength. On the dynamical side, a phase diagram of the transfer efficiency across ground-state and inverse sweeps is presented. A totally different scenario with respect to the original single-particle Landau-Zener scheme is found for ground-state sweeps, in which a breakdown of the adiabatic region emerges as the sweep rate decreases. On the contrary, the transfer efficiency across inverse sweeps reveals consistent results with the single-particle Landau-Zener predictions. In the strong-coupling regime, we find that there is a critical value of the onsite interaction for which the transfer of particles starts to vanish independently of the sweep rate. Our results are in qualitative agreement with those of the experimental counterpart.
