We analyze supersymmetric contributions to Bs mixing and their impact on mixing-induced CP asymmetries, using the mass insertion approximation. We discuss in particular the correlation of supersymmetry (SUSY) effects in the CP asymmetries of Bs\ensuremath→J/\ensuremathψ\ensuremathφ and Bd\ensuremath→\ensuremathφKS and find that the mass insertions dominant in Bs mixing and Bd\ensuremath→\ensuremathφKS are (\ensuremathδ23d)LL,RR and (\ensuremathδ23d)LR,RL, respectively. We show that models with dominant (\ensuremathδ23d)LR,RL can accommodate a negative value of S_\ensuremathφKS, in agreement with the Belle measurement of that observable, but yield a Bs mixing phase too small to be observed. On the other hand, models with dominant (\ensuremathδ23d)LL,RR predict sizable SUSY contributions to both \ensuremathΔMs and the mixing phase, but do not allow the asymmetry in Bd\ensuremath→\ensuremathφKS to become negative, except for small values of the average down squark mass, which, in turn, entail a value of \ensuremathΔMs too large to be observed at the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN LHC. We conclude that the observation of Bs mixing at hadron machines, together with the confirmation of a negative value of S_\ensuremathφKS, disfavors models with a single dominant mass insertion.
