Abstract
A constituent parton picture of hadrons with logarithmic confinement naturally arises in weak coupling light-front QCD. Confinement provides a mass gap that allows the constituent picture to emerge. The effective renormalized Hamiltonian is computed to , and used to study charmonium and bottomonium. Radial and angular excitations can be used to fix the coupling , the quark mass , and the cutoff . The resultant hyperfine structure is very close to experiment.
