Abstract We study pairing correlations in deformed nuclei in the framework of the Nilsson+BCS theory. As in the spherical case, the pairing interaction is found to induce strong spacial correlations between the partners of each paired couple. The presence of the deformed mean field gives rise to a non-spherical pair field, whose deformation is governed by the properties of a few single-particle orbitals around the Fermi surface and does not necessarily follow the shape of the mean field. Multipole expansion of the pair field yields all the pair densities associated with the direct two-particle transfer processes to the members of the g.s. rotational band in the A+2 system. The interplay of the deformations of the mean and the pair fields can lead to different relative magnitudes and phases of these densities and therefore to different excitation patterns of the rotational bands in two-particle transfer reactions. In the case of non-collective twoquasiparticles and bands the associated pair densities display large components with high multipoles and the associated transfer processes may be favoured in heavy-ion collisions by kinematical conditions. Examples corresponding to both prolate and oblate cases are considered.
