We present the results of our final analysis of the full data set of g^p₁ Q², the spin structure function of the proton, collected using CLAS at Jefferson Laboratory in 2000-2001. Polarized electrons with energies of 1.6, 2.5, 4.2, and 5.7 GeV were scattered from proton targets ¹⁵NH₃ dynamically polarized along the beam direction) and detected with CLAS. From the measured double spin asymmetries, we extracted virtual photon asymmetries A^p₁ and A^p₂ and spin structure functions g ^p₁ and g^p₂ over a wide kinematic range (0.05 GeV …
