A new mechanism for the production of electron-positron pairs from the interaction of a laser field and a fully ionized diatomic molecule in the tunneling regime is presented. When the laser field is turned off, the Dirac operator has resonances in both the positive and the negative energy continua while bound states are in the mass gap. When this system is immersed in a strong laser field, the resonances move in the complex energy plane: the negative energy resonances are pushed to higher energies while the bound states are Stark shifted [F. Fillion-Gourdeau et al., J. Phys. A 45, 215304 (2012)]. It is argued here that there is a pair production enhancement at the crossing of resonances by looking at a simple one-dimensional model: the nuclei are modeled simply by Dirac delta potential wells while the laser field is assumed to be static and of finite spatial extent. The average rate for the number of electron-positron pairs produced is evaluated and the results are compared to the one and zero nucleus cases. It is shown that positrons are produced by the resonantly enhanced pair production mechanism, which is analogous to the resonantly enhanced ionization of molecular physics. This phenomenon could be used to increase the number of pairs produced at low field strength, allowing the study of the Dirac vacuum.
