Abstract

We discuss progress in understanding the light- and heavy-quark excited hadron spectrum from Coulomb gauge QCD. For light-quark systems, we highlight the insensitivity to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, which predicts Wigner parity-degeneracy in the highly-excited hadron spectrum and allows the quark-mass momentum dependence to be experimentally probed. For heavy-quark meson decays, we invoke the Franck-Condon principle, a consequence of small velocity changes for heavy quarks, to extract qualitative, but model-independent, structure insight from the momentum distribution of the decay products.
