Abstract: ABSTRACT The INTEGRAL satellite has collected a large amount of data on magnetars in our Galaxy, spanning more than 20 years starting from 2003. The large data set obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI instrument at energies above 20 keV allows us to study both the properties and long‐term evolution of their persistent hard X‐ray emission and the population characteristics of the short bursts emitted during active periods. We are carrying out a comprehensive analysis of the observed magnetars, exploiting the most recent calibrations and analysis software. Here we report on the long term evolution of the hard X‐ray flux of the magnetars detected with ISGRI and the results of a sensitive search for short bursts in SGR J1935+2154.
