Abstract Quasielastic neutrino and antineutrino reactions in nuclei are studied to investigate the effect of the nuclear medium on the determination of axial dipole mass M A in nuclei. The calculations are done in the local density approximation and various nuclear effects like Pauli blocking, Fermi motion of nucleons and strong renormalization effects in the spin-isospin channel are taken into account. The nuclear effects are found to be quite large at low q 2 , but the data in this region are too meagre to influence the determination of M A . The experimental data on differential and total cross sections are found to be consistent with M A as determined from deuterium experiments and no conclusive evidence for quenching of M A in nuclei is found. On the other hand, the latest neutrino experiment by SKAT collaboration is found to be inconsistent with our theoretical results as well as with other neutrino experiments.
