We study the single production of heavy neutrinos via the processes e(
-)e(+) --> nu N and e(-)gamma --> W-N at future linear colliders, As a
base of our considerations we take a wide class of models, both with
vanishing and non-vanishing left-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix
m(L). We perform a model independent analyses of the existing experime
ntal data and find connections between the characteristic of heavy neu
trinos (masses, mixings, CP eigenvalues) and the m(L) parameters, We s
how that with the present experimental constraints heavy neutrino mass
es almost up to the collision energy can be tested in the future exper
iments. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
