A reliable analytical expression for the maximum energy (gamma{sub max}) of the accelerated electrons in the bubble regime is derived. The presented equation is more consistent than the previous equation derived by Kostyukov et al. [Phys. Plasmas 11, 5256 (2004)]. The (gamma{sub max}) derived by I. Kostyukov et al. was two time larger than gamma{sub max} observed in the particle in the cell (PIC) simulations. This new equation explains the monoenergetic electron energy more accurately in the relativistic regime and is in consistence with the observed PIC simulations.
