Abstract: A bstract In this study, we explore two intriguing new physics scenarios: the theory of Large Extra Dimensions (LED) and the theory of neutrino decay. We analyze the impact of LED on neutrino oscillations in the contexts of Protvino to Super-ORCA (P2SO), DUNE, and T2HK, with a particular emphasis on P2SO. In contrast, the effects of neutrino decay are examined exclusively in the context of P2SO. For the LED scenario, we find that combining data from P2SO, DUNE, and T2HK can yield tighter constraints than current bounds, but only if all oscillation parameters are measured with high precision. In the case of neutrino decay, P2SO can achieve slightly better bounds compared to ESSnuSB and MOMENT, although its bounds remain weaker than those provided by DUNE and T2HK. Regarding sensitivities to unresolved oscillation parameters, the existence of LED has a minimal impact on the determination of CP violation, mass ordering and octant. However, neutrino decay can significantly influence the sensitivities related to CP violation and octant in a non-trivial manner.
