In this talk I will discuss the recently-published gamma-decay scheme for the lowest-energy 1+ excited state in 136-Cs. These decays were studied via the 136-Xe(p,n) reaction at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL), and were found to include transitions through two isomeric states. This information can be used to formulate background-free searches for charge-current processes, including solar neutrino interactions, in current and planned multi-ton low-background liquid-xenon detectors aimed at direct dark matter detection and the search for neutrinoless double-beta decay.
