Abstract
We show in this paper the analysis of the AMANDA-II data looking for events correlated with the giant flare observed in December 27th 2004 from the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater 1806-20. This flare was more than two orders of magnitude brighter than any previous flare of this kind and saturated the satellite gamma detectors that observed it. If a hard component of gamma-rays was present in the event, these would produce detectable rates of muons in underground detectors like AMANDA. Moreover, high-energy neutrinos could also have been emitted in quantities large enough to produce a signal in this detector. The unblinding of the data showed no signal, so upper limits were set both to the gamma-ray and the neutrino fluxes.
