Measurement of the B0 Lifetime with Partial Reconstruction of B0bar ->   D*+ rho-
  A sample of about 5500 $\bar B^0 \to D^{*+} \rho^-$ and 700 $\bar B^0 \to D^{*+} a_1^-$ events is identified, using the technique of partial reconstruction, among 22.7 $B\bar B$ pairs collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II storage ring. With these events, the $B^0$ lifetime is measured to be $1.616 \pm 0.064 \pm 0.075$ ps. This measurement serves as validation for the procedures required to measure $\sin(2\beta + \gamma)$ with partial reconstruction of $\bar B^0 \to D^{*+} \rho^-$.
