We observed SGR 1935+2154 with the AMI Large Array at 15 GHz at several
epochs, obtaining the following upper limits (3sigma). This magnetar has
been in outburst since 14 May 2016, with 39 Fermi/GBM triggers (Younes
et al., GCN 19598) and at least 7 Swift/BAT triggers (e.g. Barthelmy et
al., GCN 19590). The AMI-LA robotically triggered on all the BAT alerts.
The non-detections in the radio indicate that the magnetar outburst has
not seen any giant flare similar to SGR 1806-20 in Dec 2004.
